Memoriae proditum est, quo die Urbem divus Augustus Apollonia reversus intravit, circa solem visum coloris varii circulum, qualis esse in arcu solet. Hunc Graeci halo vocant, nos dicere coronam aptissime possumus.
‘It is recorded in history that the day the deified Augustus entered Rome on his return from Apollonia a circle of varied colours was seen around the sun, colours that usually appear in a rainbow. The Greeks call it a “halo.” We can call it, very appropriately, a “corona.”’
