Ab Urbe Condita

T. Livius

Tantum magnificentiae visum in iis, ut aurata scuta dominis argentariarum ad forum ornandum dividerentur.

So magnificent was its appearance that the shields inlaid with gold were divided up amongst the owners of the money-changers' booths, to be used in decking out the Forum.
