The Senate then gave their votes that Serenus should be punished
according to ancient precedent, when the emperor, to
soften the odium of
the affair, interposed with his veto. Next, Gallus
Asinius proposed that
he should be confined in Gyaros or Donusa, but this he
rejected, on the
ground that both these islands were deficient in
water, and that he whose
life was spared, ought to be allowed the necessaries
of life. And so Serenus
was conveyed back to Amorgus.
