Appian, Civil Wars 2.125-1256 (ca. A.D. 145-165): 125. The same night Caesar's money and official papers were brought to Antonius, either because Caesar's wife transferred them in the belief that Antonius' house was a less dangerous place than her own at the moment, or in obedience to his orders. 126. While these things were taking place Antonius by means of a notice sent round by night, called the Senate to meet before daybreak at the temple of Tellus, which was very near his own house, because he did not dare to go to the Senate-house situated just below the Capitol, where the gladiators were aiding the conspirators, nor did he wish to disturb the city by bringing in the army.
