"Marmoreo Licinus tumulo jacet, at Cato parvo, Pompeius nullo. Quis putet esse deos? Saxa premunt Licinum, levat altum Fama Catonem, Pompeium tituli. Credimus esse deos."

The first two lines – sometimes attributed to Varro Atacinus – are an epigram from the Latin Anthology in reference to the magnificent tomb of one Licinus, the slave and steward of Julius Caesar. The two lines in answer are of more recent origin. — H. T. Riley, Dictionary of Latin and Greek Quotations, Proverbs, Maxims, and Mottos (1891), p. 220
