Nominative Absolute

A good example of the nominative absolute in Ronald Syme, "Tacitus: Some Sources of his Information," in his Roman Papers, IV (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1988), pp. 199-222 (at 213):
Augustus praised, incinerated, and consecrated, the Senate was permitted to discuss the position of his successor.
