It is said that one time Octavian Augustus removed an official from his position. He asked him for a financial donation, justifying it as follows: “My point is that it would seem that I voluntarily resigned from office and received a gratification from you for it”.
Augustus replied to him, “Reassure everyone that you got from me and I will not deny it”.
