116. See the Augustan History, p. 123. [Lampr. A1ex. Sever.
c. 29.] Mosheim (p. 465) seems to refine too much on the
domestic religion of Alexander. His design of building a
public temple to Christ (Hist. August. p. 129 [Lampr. Alex.
Sever. c. 43]), and the objection which was suggested either
to him, or in similar circumstances to Hadrian, appear to
have no other foundation than an improbable report, invented
by the Christians, and credulously adopted by an historian
of the age of Constantine.
