P. 18 + + + + +PREFACE + +[Decoration] + + +Upon the reviving perception of the true scope of Latin teaching has +followed a return to some of the methods of former times, which, with +all their faults, were yet imbued with the true spirit of the Classics. +Since for many years the study of Latin lay in bondage to the spirit +which regarded the language merely as a _corpus vile_ for grammatical +dissection, and ignored the rich literature lying beyond the classical +trinity of authors, it is not surprising that it fell into disfavor as +unsuited to the requirements of the times. The revival upon which the +study has now entered is due largely to a recognition of the fact that +mental culture rather than mere mental training is its true aim, and +that, with this aim kept steadily in view, the study of Latin is not a +barren waste of time and energy, but a most potent agency in securing +that broad and sympathetic culture which must ever remain the mark of +the educated man. The results of classical study most valuable to the +character are surely not to be found in the ability, usually lost +after a few years, to recite paradigms faultlessly, to give the +principal parts of verbs, and to enumerate the various kinds of +_cum_-constructions and the subdivisions of the ablative. Of far greater +worth are the mental breadth and sympathy, the weakening of prejudice +and Philistinism, and the increased power of entering into higher forms +of enjoyment which must inevitably flow from the study of the life of a +great people as revealed in its literature and art. + +This conception of the sphere of Latin study has brought with it some +modifications of the initial steps and a return to some of the texts in +use fifty years since. In the traditional sequence of authors, and +particularly in the selection of a purely military work as the means by +which to introduce the student to the language, the entrance into the +fields of Latin literature has frequently been made so distasteful as to +destroy the desire for further exploration. More attractive paths, +however, are opening to the beginner; and of these the _Viri Romae_ +offers in a notable degree material of real interest to the young, and, +from the very outset, gives a foretaste of the contents of the +literature. + +The history of this work is of interest, as showing an early recognition +of the correctness of the standpoint to which we are now returning. It +was compiled by a Professor of the University of Paris, Charles François +Lhomond, who lived from 1727 to 1794, and enjoyed an enviable reputation +as a successful teacher, especially of younger pupils. His experience +taught him the need of an introductory text combining interest of story +with simplicity of style. The best proof of the excellence of his work +is the fact that it has ever since remained a favorite with teachers of +Latin. The material is taken from the works of various authors, chiefly +Livy and Eutropius, but was simplified by Lhomond in vocabulary and +construction wherever necessary to fit it to the requirements of +beginners. As its title indicates, it deals with the early stories of +Rome, so fascinating in any dress to the young, and it is therefore +eminently fitted to arouse a desire for further reading. + +The present edition has been prepared with reference to the difficulties +most likely to embarrass the young pupil at the outset of the new study. +One of the most perplexing of these difficulties is the inability to +discover in an alphabetical vocabulary the inflected forms encountered +in the text. This is met, in part at least, by giving in italics in the +footnotes the vocabulary form of verbs not easily recognizable. For a +similar reason grammatical constructions are, on their first occurrence, +explained in simple language, or their nature briefly indicated, in +order that the student may more intelligently consult the grammatical +references which follow. For purposes of comparison, and as a means of +helping the pupil to form proper habits of study and observation, +subsequent occurrences are referred to previous instances, or to the +tables of constructions on pages xvi-xxvi. + +Although the compiler of the _Viri Romae_ greatly simplified the +language of his authorities, there yet remain in the early part of the +book many constructions which the beginner is not fitted to discuss. It +is strongly recommended, therefore, that the treatment of the more +difficult and complex of these constructions be postponed to a later +period. At the outset the attention of the pupil should be centered upon +matters of primary importance and upon the simplest and most common +usages, such as the form of the sentence, the relation of its parts to +one another, the significance of terminations, and the modes of +expressing the constantly recurring relations of time, place, cause, +means, purpose, and result. Even these should be treated as simply as +possible and with constant regard to English usage. It is the experience +of many teachers that reference to a Latin grammar to explain a +construction possessed by English as well as by Latin frequently creates +a difficulty where the student, if left to his own devices, would have +experienced none. + +The notes on matters of Roman custom have been made intentionally full +with the aim of adding reality to the stories, and of inducing the +pupil, under the teacher’s guidance, to discover for himself further +details. The use of other accounts, whether in ancient or modern +authors, of photographs, plates, and other graphic aids can not be too +strongly encouraged, in accordance with the dictum of Horace:-- + + Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures + Quam quae sunt oculis subiecta fidelibus. + +All vowels known to be long have been carefully marked. The text of this +edition is, in the main, that of C. Holzer (tenth edition, Stuttgart, +1889). In orthography, however, Brambach has been followed. In the +vocabulary compound verbs are given under the simple verbs as an aid to +the fuller appreciation of the methods by which they are formed and +their meanings derived. The exercises in prose composition have been +made simple in order that they may occupy their legitimate place as +subordinate and auxiliary to the development of the more important +reading power. + +The thanks of the editors are due to Mr. E. G. Warner, of the Brooklyn +Polytechnic Institute, for his hearty coöperation in the work, and +particularly for the labor which he has expended upon the exercises. + + ROBERT ARROWSMITH. + CHARLES KNAPP. + +August, 1895. + + + + +CONTENTS + +[Decoration] + + PAGE + + Suggestions to the Student ix + Plan of Rome xxviii + I.

Hence it is of prime importance to know their meanings. The +best way, in fact the only way, to acquire a vocabulary, is by constant +reading, and by noting carefully the force of individual words as they +occur. It soon becomes evident that certain words are very frequently +used, especially verbs which denote actions that have to do with +everyday life, such as _dīcō_, _eō_, _faciō_, _habeō_, _veniō_, _sum_, +and their compounds. These at least must be mastered at the very outset. +It is worth while to notice what prefixes are used in forming compound +verbs, and the modifications of meaning which they produce. If the force +of the simple verb is mastered, a little practice will enable the +student to detect at sight the meaning of any of its compounds without +reference to any dictionary. + +It is useful also to group together in memory words derived from the +same stem, _e.g._ _canō_, _cantus_; _certō_, _certāmen_; _dūcō_, _dux_; +_regō_, _rēx_, _rēgius_; _caedō_, _caedēs_. A specially interesting +study consists in noting the English words which go back to Latin +originals. From various causes a large part of our English vocabulary is +borrowed from Latin. Cf. _donate_ with _dōnō_ and _dōnum_, _lucid_ with +_lūx_, _regent_ with _rēx_ and _regō_. + +Finally, it will be found very helpful constantly to read Latin aloud, +for thus the _ear_ will help the _eye_ and words will have meaning when +_heard_ as well as when _seen_. Indeed, we ought to use our ears far +more than our eyes in acquiring a Latin vocabulary, in order that Latin +words, when heard, shall suggest at once to our minds the same pictures +which they suggested to the minds of Roman boys. + +#Inflections and Syntax.#--It is not enough, however, to be familiar +with the meanings of individual words, however many we may succeed in +mastering. We must possess a knowledge also of _inflections_, _i.e._ of +the declensions and conjugations, which tell us how individual words may +be altered in form in order to express different relations to other +words, and of _syntax_, which tells us how words are combined together +into sentences. A knowledge of inflections and an understanding of +syntax are the tools by which we arrive at the meaning of sentences as a +whole. As the wise workman uses the best and most efficient tools, so +one who undertakes to read Latin with speed and pleasure must make his +mastery of inflections and syntax as complete as possible. It is assumed +that students of this book have already had some drill in the commoner +inflections. The principles of syntax can best be studied as they occur +in actual reading. The commonest, and therefore most important, are +discussed in the notes and illustrated by appropriate references to the +grammars in common use and by the tables of constructions on pages xvi +to xxvi. A very practical way of fixing the principles of syntax firmly +in mind is by frequent translation from English into Latin. It should be +remembered, however, that we study syntax simply because such study +enables us to read and enjoy the great works of Latin literature. + +#The Order of Words.#--The greatest difficulty that confronts the +student of Latin literature is the fact that the order of the words in a +Latin sentence is widely different from that which he ordinarily finds +in an English sentence. This difference is due mainly to two causes. +(1) Every Latin sentence is a kind of word picture, in which the meaning +is developed stroke by stroke, _the separate parts being introduced in +the order of their importance_. (2) It is a principle of Latin to keep +the meaning in suspense until the very end, so that the last word +completes not only the form, but also the meaning of the sentence. Both +these principles may be seen at work in lines 1 to 5 of selection I, +page 1. _Proca_ naturally stands first, partly because the whole work is +a story of the deeds of men, partly because at this point he is +especially important, as being the reigning king, with power to choose +his own successor. The phrase _rēx Albānōrum_ very properly follows, as +defining the scene of the action. _Numitor_ and _Amūlius_ are next +mentioned because the Latin loves to emphasize contrasts of persons. The +sense of the whole is not complete till we reach the very last word, +_habuit_. In the next sentence _Numitōrī_ is first, because now Numitor +is more important, as being Proca’s successor. The relative clause _quī +. . . erat_ not only states a fact, but also gives the reason why Proca +bequeathed his kingdom (_rēgnum relīquit_) to Numitor. So in the words +_ut . . . fēcit_, the _ut_-clause tells why Amulius performed the act +indicated by the words _Rhēam Silviam . . . fēcit_, so that by the time +we know _what_ the act was we know also exactly _why_ it was performed. +The Latin thus pictures the parts of the scene in their true order, for +the motive in every case precedes the act. We see therefore that, +however strange at times the Latin order may seem to be, there is always +good reason for it. It is our task at the outset, as it soon will be our +pleasure, to determine just what this reason is. + +Now this freer order of words in the Latin sentence is rendered possible +by the fact that Latin possesses an elaborate inflectional system, +whereas English does not. Note, however, that one familiar with Latin +declensions would know at once that in the first sentence discussed +above Proca was actor (_i.e._ subject), and Numitor and Amulius acted +upon (_i.e._ object). So in the sentence _ut . . . fēcit_ it is clear +that Amulius is the actor and that Rhea Silvia is acted upon. Thus the +inflectional system serves to relieve, in part at least, the very +difficulty which it creates. + +#How to Read.#--By far the best way for the beginner to make himself +familiar with the Latin order and its meaning is to _make a practice +from the very outset of reading the sentence aloud from beginning to end +before attempting to translate at all_. If the meaning is not clear at +once, a repetition of such reading will often serve to make it clear, +provided the student knows the force of the individual words and +constructions. If he does not, he must seek the aid of the vocabulary or +the notes. Then let him read the sentence once more aloud, slowly and +carefully. He should not, however, look into either vocabulary or notes +until he has read the Latin through at least once. Progress at first +will necessarily be slow, but it will be sure. By every page read in the +manner indicated above the pupil is preparing himself to read with more +and more intelligence and pleasure the pages that remain. Besides, in +this way he reads his Latin precisely as he reads English, word after +word, in the order in which it is written, and precisely as a Roman boy +1800 years ago read his Latin story or poem. He will gain further the +advantage of training his ear as well as his eye and of making it do its +fair share of the work. In translating, too, it will be wise to follow +as closely as possible the Latin order. Often it will be found that the +resulting English order, even if not very common, is none the less +intelligible. So the sentence _ut . . . fēcit_ discussed above may be +translated almost exactly in the Latin order. + + +LATIN COMPOSITION + +#Its Value.#--An exercise which is very practical and helpful, and which +may also become extremely delightful, is the rendering into Latin of +English sentences based upon that portion of the Latin text which has +already been carefully studied. This exercise is helpful, because it +calls upon us to put into practice the knowledge which we have acquired +in reading; it may become delightful because it shows us accurately the +measure of our advance and thus affords us the pleasure which comes from +the feeling that one is making sure progress in a given line of study. + +#Essentials.#--To write Latin well one needs precisely the things which +we found necessary in reading (page ix). The words and constructions +required in the sentences for translation given on pages 112 to 129 are +illustrated by the corresponding pages of the Latin text. The pupil +should always endeavor to recall the word, inflectional form, phrase, or +construction for himself before referring to his text or to his grammar. +In other words, he should make the exercise one of thought rather than +of mere mechanical copying from a printed model. + +#The Object.#--We read the Latin text in order to understand the +thoughts of the writer. So in turning English sentences into Latin our +chief object is to clothe the _thoughts_ which such sentences convey in +proper Latin dress, not merely to substitute Latin _words_ for English +_words_. Every language has its own peculiar expressions, which are +called _idioms_. Such expressions can never be literally translated from +one language into another. Hence in attempting to turn an English +sentence into Latin, we must begin by noting carefully the thought which +it expresses, and then consider how the Romans gave expression to that +thought. + +#Choice of Expression.#--In Latin, just as in English, it often happens +that the same thought may be expressed in several ways, which differ +greatly in the words used as well as in the form and expression. In +English it is often impossible to give a reason for the choice of one +form of expression in preference to others. Sometimes the choice is made +consciously for the sake of variety, or because there is a very slight +shade of difference in meaning,--so slight that we can perhaps feel it, +but cannot put it into words; sometimes unconsciously, because every one +falls into the habit of using certain phrases and manners of speech with +no deeper reason than the habit. The same is true of Latin writers. +Their various forms of expression have been noted and collected, and we +find them laid down in the grammars as _rules_. Some of these +expressions are found to be used by the best writers more frequently +than others, and these are considered the best models. But the student +must avoid the error of confining himself absolutely to one iron-bound +form because most stress is laid upon it by the grammars, if he finds +other modes of expression in the writings of good authors. By searching +out the greatest variety of forms in which an idea may be expressed, by +trying to discover the differences in meaning between them, and by +placing yourself as far as possible in the writer’s place, you will gain +a far greater grasp and appreciation of the language than by learning a +single rigid rule and forcing it to fit every case. + +One of the central ideas of the following exercises, then, should be to +render the thought in as many ways as possible, drawing your authority +from the text on which the exercise is based, as well as from your +grammar. + +Examine the tables on pages xvi to xxvi, where you will find several of +the most important constructions treated. Compare the examples given and +try to trace out the reasons for the different forms. In many cases you +will not be able to do so, and are free to choose one of several modes +of expression. In others the meaning of the sentences and the aid of the +grammar will give the reason for your choice. + +#Caution.#--The pupil should note that all the words and constructions +necessary to enable him to write in Latin the sentences given below, +pages 112 to 129, are to be found on the pages of the Latin text upon +which the exercises are based. _An English-Latin vocabulary or +dictionary is, therefore, wholly unnecessary._ Additional sentences +based on the text may be made up by student or teacher as required. + + +TABLES OF CONSTRUCTIONS + +The following tables have been prepared for the purpose of affording the +pupil material for study and comparison, by grouping together under +appropriate heads examples of certain constructions as they actually +occur in this book. It is expected that they will be helpful to the +student in two ways: (1) by supplementing and illustrating the notes, +and (2) by affording him guides which he may follow in his writing of +Latin. No attempt whatever has been made to include under any given head +all the examples that are to be found in the text. The pupil will find +it both interesting and instructive to add to the lists himself as he +finds new instances in his own reading. + + +_A._ EXPRESSIONS OF PLACE + +1.

They show also that the reason is +fictitious, and invented by the person who advances it. + + [Footnote I.5: Cf. also Ablative Absolute, _K_ 4.] + + [Footnote I.6: These conjunctions are regularly used with the + indicative. They are employed with the subjunctive only when the + writer is indirectly quoting the reason given by some one else.] + + +_I._ CONCESSIVE OR ADVERSATIVE CLAUSES + +1. #Cum# (although) with the subjunctive: + + #cum retinērētur# ā propinquīs et amīcīs, tamen Carthāginem rediit, + XVII, 53. + +2. #Quamquam# with the indicative: + + #quamquam . . pellēbātur#, XXI, 242. + +3. #Quamvīs# with the subjunctive: + + #quamvīs sīs# molestus, XXVI, 158. + + +_J._ CUM CLAUSES + +The temporal, causal, and concessive uses of #cum# have already been +given separately. #Cum# was originally a temporal conjunction. From the +temporal idea were developed its other meanings. So the English _when_ +frequently contains the ideas of time and cause, or time and concession +combined, and _while_ also is frequently at once temporal and +concessive. So #cum# also may represent these ideas in combination as +well as separately. In many cases, indeed, it is difficult, if not +impossible, to decide which meaning is more prominent: cf. + + #Cum# (_when_ and _since_) lupa saepius ad parvulōs . . + #reverterētur#, I, 16; Hīs artibus #cum# (_when_ and _although_) + Hannibalem Fabius . . #clausisset#, ille . . sē expedīvit, XIX, 31. + + +_K._ THE ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE + +1. FORM.--The ablative absolute consists usually of a noun and a +participle. The participle is generally passive, but often active: #Eō +rēgnante#, IV, 3; #relābente flūmine#, I, 9. + +2. Often, however, the ablative absolute consists of a noun and +adjective, or of two nouns, or a noun and pronoun. In such cases there +is an ellipsis of the lost present participle of #sum#: + + #māgnā glōriā# bellī, IV, 75; #parī# ferē #ōrnātū#, X, 6; #Appiō + iūdice#, XII, 15; #Valeriō# et #Cossō cōnsulibus#, XIV, 1. + +3. MEANING.--The ablative absolute may denote + + TIME; compare Temporal Clauses, _G_ 1, 2, and 5. + + #pulsō frātre#, rēgnāvit, I, 3; #Eā rē cōgnitā#, parvulōs . . + abiēcit in Tiberim, I, 5; #armātīs pāstōribus#, Albam properāvit, + I, 25. + +NOTE.--This is the original and most frequent use of the ablative +absolute. + +4. CAUSE: compare Causal Clauses, _H_ 2 and 3. + + #ortā# inter eōs #contentiōne#, I, 40; dūrissimā squāmārum #lōrīcā# + omnia tēla facile #repellente#, XVII, 22; in cōnfertā multitūdine + aegrē #prōcēdente carpentō#, XVIII, 17. + +5. CONCESSION: + + agrum ēius, #omnibus# circā #vāstātīs#, intāctum relīquit, XIX, 39. + +6. Often time and cause together: compare note on Cum Clauses, _J_. +Examples are: + + #mīlitibus# sēgnius #dīmicantibus#, raptum sīgnum in hostem mīsit, + VII, 9; #occīsō Tatiō#, ad Rōmulum potentātus omnis recidit, II, 40. + +7. CONDITION: + + #rē# male #gestā# (if he fails), XVI, 31; nē, #dēsertō# agrō, nōn + esset (lest, if he neglected his farm, he might not have), XVII, 34. + +8. MEANS: + + #advectīs ballistīs# et #catapultīs# (by bringing up, etc.) . . + dēiciendus hostis fuit, XVII, 23. + +9. ATTENDANT CIRCUMSTANCE: + + #crīnibus passīs#, II, 36; #māgnā glōriā# bellī rēgnāvit, IV, 75; + scrībā cum rēge #parī ferē ōrnātū# sedēbat, X, 6. + +10. The ablative absolute is often best translated by the English +perfect active participle with an object: #armātīs pāstōribus#, I, 25, +_having armed_ the shepherds. A combination of an abl. abs. and a finite +verb is often best rendered by two verbs in the same mood and tense: +#interēmptō Amūliō#, Numitōrem in rēgnum #restituit#, I, 37, _he killed_ +Amulius _and restored_ Numitor to the throne. + + +_L._ PARTICIPLES + +In Latin the participles, especially the perfect passive participle, are +used far more frequently than in English, and with a much larger variety +of meanings. The use of the participle tends to produce brevity of +expression. Thus the Latin participle may be equivalent to + +1. A RELATIVE CLAUSE: + + #raptae# mulierēs, II, 35; Rōmānus . . male #sustinentem# (= quī + male sustinēbat) arma Cūriātium cōnficit, IV, 29; ab laniō cultrō + #adreptō# (with a knife _which he caught up_ from a butcher’s + stall), XII, 24; #volentibus# (= eīs quī volēbant) cōnsulere sē dē + iūre praebuit, XIII, 97. + +2. A CAUSAL CLAUSE: + + necessitāte #compulsus# indicāvit, I, 24; nōmina mūtāre nōn potuit + #dēterritus# . . Nāviī auctōritāte, VI, 16; Hōc terrōre cēterī + #adāctī# nōmina prōmptius dedērunt, XV, 25. + +3. A CONCESSIVE CLAUSE: + + #victus# (though beaten) crucis supplicium effūgit, XVI, 30. + +4. Latin often uses a perfect passive participle in agreement with a +noun, where, judging from English usage, we should expect a noun with a +limiting genitive: + + ob #virginēs# raptās (on account of the _seizure of_ the maidens), + II, 14; Annō trecentēsimō ab #urbe conditā# (from the _founding of_ + the city), XII, 1. + +5. English is fond of coördinated verbs, that is, verbs in exactly the +same mood, tense, and construction, _e.g._ ‘They took the ass and +saddled him.’ Latin, however, objects to such constructions, and prefers +to replace the former of the two verbs by some other form of expression, +_e.g._ a passive or deponent participle. We have to notice here two +classes of sentences: + +(_a_) Such sentences as fulmine #īctum cōnflagrāsse#, IV, 74, which = +fulmine #īctum esse et cōnflagrāsse#, _i.e._ ‘he _was struck_ by +lightning _and burned_,’ etc. + +(_b_) such sentences as the following: parvulōs alveō #impositōs +abiēcit#, I, 6 = parvulōs alveō #imposuit et abiēcit#; #ēlatam# secūrim +in ēius caput #dēiēcit#, VI, 37 = #extulit# secūrim #et# in ēius caput +#dēiēcit#; cōniugem ē Cūriā #ēvocātum# . . rēgem #salūtāvit#, VII, 47 = +cōniugem ē Cūriā #ēvocāvit et# eum rēgem #salūtāvit#. + + +_M._ INDIRECT DISCOURSE + +1. INDIRECT DISCOURSE DEFINED.--The terms _Direct Discourse_ and +_Indirect Discourse_ denote the two distinct ways in which a writer may +quote the statement or represent the thought of another person. If the +writer gives the exact words in which the statement was made, or in +which the thought was formulated (if put into words at all), he is said +to use the _direct_ discourse. If, on the other hand, he gives merely +the substance or the gist of his own or another’s statements or +thoughts, he is said to use the _indirect_ discourse. In Latin, as in +English, the indirect discourse is more common than the direct. + +2. In passing from the direct discourse to the indirect, numerous +changes become necessary. These may, however, be readily grouped under +two heads: (_a_) those which occur in principal clauses, and (_b_) those +which occur in subordinate clauses. + +3. CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL CLAUSES.--Principal clauses may be declarative, +interrogative, or imperative; that is, they may make a statement, ask a +question, or give expression to a command. We thus have to consider +three forms of principal clauses: (_a_) Statements, (_b_) Questions, +(_c_) Commands. + +4. STATEMENTS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Statements of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, +fall into the infinitive mood, because they become objects of verbs of +saying: + + adfīrmāns #vīsum# (sc. #esse#) ā sē Rōmulum . . eundemque + #praecipere#, II, 51 (direct form, #vīsus est# ā mē Rōmulus . . + īdemque #praecipit#); prōclāmābat fīliam suam iūre #caesam esse#, + IV, 43 (direct form, fīlia mea iūre #caesa est#); minātur sē vī + #abstrāctūrum#, XII, 12 (direct form (ego) vī tē #abstraham#). + +5. QUESTIONS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Questions of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, +fall into the subjunctive mood, because they are in reality dependent on +a verb of asking. No example of a question in formal indirect discourse +occurs in the selections contained in this book. Indirect questions +(cf. p. 3, n. 2), however, fall under this general head as giving some +one’s thoughts without quoting his exact words. + +6. COMMANDS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Commands of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, fall +into the subjunctive, because they are in reality dependent on some verb +like _imperāvit_, to be supplied in thought: + + proinde #nē gravārētur# sē spectandum praebēre, XXI, 289 (direct + form, #Nōlī gravārī# tē spectandum praebēre); satis cōnstat Sullam + . . prōclāmāsse, #vincerent#, dummodo scīrent, XXVII, 12-15 (direct + form, #Vincite#, dummodo sciātis). + +7. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Subordinate Clauses of the Indirect Discourse have their verbs in +the subjunctive mood: + + Tatius . . Tarpēiae optiōnem mūneris dedit, #sī . . perdūxisset#, + II, 19-21 (direct form, dō or dabō optiōnem mūneris, #sī . . + perdūxeris#: see note); Illa petiit quod #gererent#, II, 21 (direct + form, Petō quod . . #geritis#). + + + + +The grammatical references in the footnotes are to the Latin Grammars in +most common use; H = Harkness’ Complete Latin Grammar, references to +Harkness’ Standard Grammar being inclosed in parentheses; M = Lane & +Morgan; A = Allen & Greenough; G = Gildersleeve; B = Bennett. + + + + + [Illustration: THE HILLS OF ROME] + +The original Latin city comprised only the Palatine and a small portion +of the surrounding territory. The Etruscans inhabited the Caelian Hill, +and extended toward the Esquiline. The Sabine town occupied the +Quirinal, which was originally connected with the Capitoline, on which +was the Sabine citadel, by a ridge sloping toward the Forum and the +Campus Martius. Ancus Marcius added to the city the Aventine, and built +a fortress on the Janiculum. Servius Tullius added the Viminal and +Esquiline, and inclosed the seven hills with a line of fortifications, +of which one portion is still traceable. The ridge connecting the +Capitoline and Quirinal was a barrier which cut the town in two. The +only means of communication between the two halves of the city, when its +population had reached nearly two million inhabitants, were the narrow +strip of land between the Capitoline and the river and a lane ten feet +wide crossing the ridge. To relieve the pressure, this ridge was cut +away by the Emperor Trajan, in whose Forum on the site of the +excavations stands the well-known ‘Trajan’s Column,’ 140 feet high, +‘erected to show to posterity how high was the mountain leveled by the +Emperor.’ The business portion of the modern city occupies the Campus +Martius, its main artery, the famous ‘Corso,’ following the line of the +ancient street shown on the plan.

Ea re +cognita Amulius ipsam in vincula coniecit, parvulos alveo impositos +abiecit in Tiberim, qui tunc forte super ripas erat effusus; sed, +relabente flumine, eos aqua in sicco reliquit. Vastae tum in iis locis +solitudines erant. Lupa, ut fama traditum est, ad vagitum accurrit, +infantes lingua lambit, ubera eorum ori matremque se gessit. + +Cum lupa saepius ad parvulos veluti ad catulos reverteretur, Faustulus, +pastor regius, re animadversa eos tulit in casam et Accae Larentiae +coniugi dedit educandos. Adulti deinde hi inter pastores primo ludicris +certaminibus vires auxere, deinde venando saltus peragrare et latrones a +rapina pecorum arcere coeperunt. Quare cum iis insidiati essent +latrones, Remus captus est, Romulus vi se defendit. Tum Faustulus, +necessitate compulsus, indicavit Romulo quis esset eorum avus, quae +mater. Romulus statim armatis pastoribus Albam properavit. + +Interea Remum latrones ad Amulium regem perduxerunt, eum accusantes, +quasi Numitoris agros infestare solitus esset; itaque Remus a rege +Numitori ad supplicium traditus est; at cum Numitor, adulescentis vultum +considerans, aetatem minimeque servilem indolem compararet, haud procul +erat quin nepotem agnosceret. Nam Remus oris lineamentis erat matri +simillimus aetasque expositionis temporibus congruebat. Ea res dum +Numitoris animum anxium tenet, repente Romulus supervenit, fratrem +liberat, interempto Amulio avum Numitorem in regnum restituit. + +Deinde Romulus et Remus urbem in iisdem locis, ubi expositi ubique +educati erant, condiderunt; sed orta inter eos contentione, uter nomen +novae urbi daret eamque imperio regeret, auspicia decreverunt adhibere. +Remus prior sex vultures, Romulus postea duodecim vidit. Sic Romulus, +victor augurio, urbem Romam vocavit. Ad novae urbis tutelam sufficere +vallum videbatur.

After many + wanderings Aeneas reached Italy, married there Lavinia, the + daughter of Latinus, king of the Latins, and founded a town called + Lavinium, from the name of his wife. He was succeeded by his son + Ascanius, who founded a second city, called Alba Longa, and + transferred thither the seat of government. The date traditionally + assigned to the capture of Troy was 1184 B.C. Hence it is clear + that Alba Longa was settled more than 400 years before the + foundation of Rome in 754 B.C. To fill this gap a list of fourteen + Alban kings, all descendants of Aeneas, was given by the Roman + writers. How Rome itself was founded from Alba Longa is described + in the text. It should be kept constantly in mind that little + faith is to be put in these traditional accounts of Rome’s early + history, at least as far as details are concerned. Latin writers + tell us that the oldest records of the city perished in the sack + of Rome by the Gauls in 388 B.C. The first historical work written + by a Roman was published about 215 B.C., more than 500 years after + the foundation of the city. Many of the stories were obviously + invented to account for institutions which existed in the later + times, and the traditional narrative is full of inconsistencies + and contradictions. + + [Footnotes: I (pages 1-4) + + 1.1: #Proca# was the twelfth king of Alba Longa. + 1.2: #nātū māior#: ‘greater by birth’ = ‘elder.’ + 1.3: from _relinquō_. + 1.4: #pulsō# (_pellō_) #frātre#: abl. abs.; ‘his brother having + been driven out’ (pass.) = ‘having driven out,’ _or_ ‘when he had + driven out his brother’ (act.): H 489 (431): M 638: A 255: G 409: + B 227. + 1.5: #ut prīvāret#: purpose: H 568 (497, II): M 893: A 317, 1: + G 545: B 282. + 1.6: abl. of separation: H 462 (414, I): M 601: A 243, _a_: G 405: + B 214, 1, c. + 2.1: See Voc., _Vesta_. + 2.2: #quae# = _sed ea_. + 2.3: _ēdō_. + 2.4: #eā rē cōgnitā# (_cōgnōscō_): cf. p. 1, n. 4. + 2.5: i.e. Rhea Silvia. + 2.6: _coniciō_. + 2.7: dat. with compound verb: H 429 (386): M 534: A 228: G 347: + B 187, III. + 2.8: #impositōs# (_impōnō_) #abiēcit# (_abiciō_) = _imposuit et + abiēcit_.

Ubi +spectaculi tempus venit eoque conversae mentes cum oculis erant, tum +signo dato iuvenes Romani discurrunt, virgines rapiunt. + +Haec fuit statim causa belli. Sabini enim ob virgines raptas bellum +adversus Romanos sumpserunt, et cum Romae appropinquarent, Tarpeiam +virginem nacti sunt, quae aquam forte extra moenia petitum ierat.

Quibus dolose promissis, Tarpeia Sabinos in arcem +perduxit, ubi Tatius scutis eam obrui iussit; nam et ea in laevis +habuerant. Sic impia proditio celeri poena vindicata est. + +Deinde Romulus ad certamen processit, et in eo loco, ubi nunc Romanum +Forum est, pugnam conseruit. Primo impetu vir inter Romanos insignis, +nomine Hostilius, fortissime dimicans cecidit; cuius interitu +consternati Romani fugere coeperunt. Iam Sabini clamitabant: “Vicimus +perfidos hospites, imbelles hostes. Nunc sciunt longe aliud esse +virgines rapere, aliud pugnare cum viris.” Tunc Romulus, arma ad caelum +tollens, Iovi aedem vovit, et exercitus seu forte seu divinitus +restitit. Itaque proelium redintegratur; sed raptae mulieres crinibus +passis ausae sunt se inter tela volantia inferre et hinc patres, hinc +viros orantes, pacem conciliarunt. + +Romulus, foedere cum Tatio icto, et Sabinos in urbem recepit et regnum +cum Tatio sociavit. Verum haud ita multo post, occiso Tatio, ad Romulum +potentatus omnis recidit. Centum deinde ex senioribus elegit, quorum +consilio omnia ageret, quos senatores nominavit propter senectutem. Tres +equitum centurias constituit, populum in triginta curias distribuit. His +ita ordinatis, cum ad exercitum lustrandum contionem in campo ad Caprae +paludem haberet, subito coorta est tempestas cum magno fragore +tonitribusque et Romulus e conspectu ablatus est.

Tergiversantibus Poenis Quintus Fabius, +legationis princeps, sinu ex toga facto “Hic” inquit “vobis bellum et +pacem portamus; utrum placet, sumite.” Poenis daret utrum vellet +succlamantibus, Fabius, excussa toga, bellum se dare dicit. Poeni +accipere se responderunt et, quibus acciperent animis, iisdem se +gesturos. + +Hannibal superatis Pyrenaei et Alpium iugis in Italiam venit. Publium +Scipionem apud Ticinum amnem, Sempronium apud Trebiam, Flaminium apud +Trasumenum profligavit. + +Adversus hostem totiens victorem missus Quintus Fabius dictator +Hannibalis impetum mora fregit; namque, priorum ducum cladibus edoctus +belli rationem mutare et adversus Hannibalem, successibus proeliorum +insolentem, recedere ab ancipiti discrimine et tueri tantummodo Italiam +constituit Cunctatorisque nomen et laudem summi ducis meruit. Per loca +alta agmen ducebat modico ab hoste intervallo, ut neque omitteret eum +neque cum eo congrederetur; castris, nisi quantum necessitas cogeret, +miles tenebatur. Dux neque occasioni rei bene gerendae deerat, si qua ab +hoste daretur, neque ullam ipse hosti dabat.

Namque +arida sarmenta in boum cornibus deligata principio noctis incendi +bovesque ad montes, quos Romani insederant, agi iussit. Qui cum accensis +cornibus per montes, per silvas huc illuc discurrerent, Romani miraculo +attoniti constiterunt; ipse Fabius, insidias esse ratus, militem extra +vallum egredi vetuit. Interea Hannibal ex angustiis evasit. + +Dein Hannibal, ut Fabio apud suos conflaret invidiam, agrum eius, +omnibus circa vastatis, intactum reliquit.

His sermonibus accensa plebs dictatori magistrum +equitum imperio aequavit. Hanc iniuriam aequo animo tulit Fabius +exercitumque suum cum Minucio divisit. Cum autem Minucius temere +proelium commisisset, ei periclitanti auxilio venit Fabius.

Id iterum ac +saepius ab iis factum eoque consuetudinis adducta res est, ut, quocumque +noctis tempore sibilo dedissent signum, porta urbis aperiretur. Tunc +Hannibal eos nocte media cum decem milibus hominum delectorum secutus +est. Ubi portae appropinquarunt, nota iuvenum vox et familiare signum +vigilem excitavit. Duo primi inferebant aprum vasti corporis. Vigil +incautus, dum beluae magnitudinem miratur, venabulo occisus est. +Ingressi proditores ceteros vigiles sopitos obtruncant. Tum Hannibal cum +suo agmine ingreditur: Romani passim trucidantur.

Ibi deinde Varro, invito conlega, aciem instruxit et +signum pugnae dedit. Hannibal autem ita constituerat aciem, ut Romanis +et solis radii et ventus ab oriente pulverem adflans adversi essent. +Victus caesusque est Romanus exercitus; nusquam graviore vulnere +adflicta est res publica. Aemilius Paulus telis obrutus cecidit: quem +cum media in pugna sedentem in saxo oppletum cruore conspexisset quidam +tribunus militum, “Cape” inquit “hunc equum et fuge, Aemili. Etiam sine +tua morte lacrimarum satis luctusque est.” Ad ea consul: “Tu quidem +macte virtute esto! Sed cave exiguum tempus e manibus hostium evadendi +perdas! Abi, nuntia patribus ut urbem muniant ac prius quam hostis +victor adveniat, praesidiis firment. Me in hac strage meorum militum +patere exspirare.” Alter consul cum paucis equitibus Venusiam perfugit. +Consulares aut praetorii occiderunt viginti, senatores capti aut occisi +triginta, nobiles viri trecenti, militum quadraginta milia, equitum tria +milia et quingenti. Hannibal in testimonium victoriae suae tres modios +aureorum anulorum Carthaginem misit, quos de manibus equitum Romanorum +et senatorum detraxerat. + +Hannibali victori cum ceteri gratularentur suaderentque ut quietem iam +ipse sumeret et fessis militibus daret, unus ex eius praefectis, +Maharbal, minime cessandum ratus, Hannibalem hortabatur ut statim Romam +pergeret, die quinto victor in Capitolio epulaturus. Cumque Hannibal +illud non probasset, Maharbal “Non omnia nimirum” inquit “eidem dii +dedere. Vincere scis, Hannibal; victoria uti nescis.” Mora huius diei +satis creditur saluti fuisse urbi et imperio. Hannibal cum victoria +posset uti, frui maluit, relictaque Roma in Campaniam divertit, cuius +deliciis mox exercitus ardor elanguit, adeo ut vere dictum sit Capuam +Hannibali Cannas fuisse. + +Numquam tantum pavoris Romae fuit, quantum ubi acceptae cladis nuntius +advenit. Neque tamen ulla pacis mentio facta est; quin etiam animo +civitas adeo magno fuit, ut Varroni ex tanta clade redeunti obviam irent +et gratias agerent, quod de re publica non desperasset: qui, si Poenorum +dux fuisset, temeritatis poenas omni supplicio dedisset. Non autem vitae +cupiditate, sed rei publicae amore se superfuisse reliquo aetatis suae +tempore approbavit. Nam et barbam capillumque submisit, et postea +numquam recubans cibum cepit; honoribus quoque, cum ei deferrentur a +populo, renuntiavit, dicens felicioribus magistratibus rei publicae opus +esse. Dum igitur Hannibal segniter et otiose agebat. Romani interim +respirare coeperunt. Arma non erant: detracta sunt templis vetera +hostium spolia. Deerat iuventus: servi manumissi et armati sunt. Egebat +aerarium: opes suas libens senatus in medium protulit, nec praeter quod +in bullis singulisque anulis erat quidquam sibi auri reliquerunt. Patrum +exemplum secuti sunt equites imitataeque equites omnes tribus. Denique +vix suffecere tabulae, vix scribarum manus, cum omnes privatae opes in +publicum deferrentur. + +Cum Hannibal redimendi sui copiam captivis Romanis fecisset, decem ex +ipsis Romam ea de re missi sunt; nec pignus aliud fidei ab iis +postulatum est, quam ut iurarent se, si non impetrassent, in castra esse +redituros. Eos senatus non redimendos censuit responditque eos cives non +esse necessarios, qui, cum armati essent, capi potuissent. Ūnus ex iis +legatis e castris Poenorum egressus, veluti aliquid oblitus, paulo post +in castra erat regressus, deinde comites ante noctem adsecutus erat. Is +ergo, re non impetrata, domum abiit; reditu enim in castra se liberatum +esse iureiurando interpretabatur. Quod ubi innotuit, iussit senatus +illum comprehendi et vinctum duci ad Hannibalem. Ea res Hannibalis +audaciam maxime fregit, quod senatus populusque Romanus rebus adflictis +tam excelso esset animo. + + + #XX.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus# [[stripped text]] + +Publius Cornelius Scipio nondum annos pueritiae egressus patrem +singulari virtute servavit; qui cum pugna apud Ticinum contra Hannibalem +commissa graviter vulneratus in hostium manus iam iam venturus esset, +filius interiecto corpore Poenis inruentibus se opposuit et patrem +periculo liberavit. Quae pietas Scipioni postea aedilitatem petenti +favorem populi conciliavit. Cum obsisterent tribuni plebis, negantes +rationem eius esse habendam, quod nondum ad petendum legitima aetas +esset, “Si me” inquit Scipio “omnes Quirites aedilem facere volunt, +satis annorum habeo.” Tanto inde favore ad suffragia itum est, ut +tribuni incepto desisterent. + +Post cladem Cannensem Romani exercitus reliquiae Canusium perfugerant; +cumque ibi tribuni militum quattuor essent, tamen omnium consensu ad +Publium Scipionem, admodum adulescentem, summa imperii delata est. +Quibus consultantibus nuntiat Publius Furius Philus, consularis viri +filius, nobiles quosdam iuvenes propter desperationem consilium de +Italia deserenda inire. Statim in hospitium Metelli, qui conspirationis +erat princeps, se contulit Scipio, et cum concilium ibi iuvenum, de +quibus adlatum erat, invenisset, stricto super capita consultantium +gladio, “Iurate” inquit “vos neque ipsos rem publicam populi Romani +deserturos, neque alium civem Romanum deserere passuros: qui non +iuraverit, in se hunc gladium strictum esse sciat.” Haud secus pavidi, +quam si victorem Hannibalem cernerent, iurant omnes custodiendosque +semet ipsos Scipioni tradunt. + +Cum Romani duas clades in Hispania accepissent duoque ibi summi +imperatores intra dies triginta cecidissent, placuit exercitum augeri +eoque proconsulem mitti; nec tamen quem mitterent satis constabat. Ea de +re indicta sunt comitia. Primo populus exspectabat ut, qui se tanto +dignos imperio crederent, nomina profiterentur; sed nemo audebat illud +imperium suscipere. Maesta igitur civitas ac prope inops consilii +comitiorum die in campum descendit. Subito P. Cornelius Scipio, quattuor +et viginti ferme annos natus, professus se petere, in superiore, unde +conspici posset, loco constitit. In quem postquam omnium ora conversa +sunt, ad unum omnes Scipionem in Hispania proconsulem esse iusserunt. At +postquam animorum impetus resedit, populum Romanum coepit facti +paenitere: aetati Scipionis maxime diffidebant. Quod ubi animadvertit +Scipio, advocata contione ita magno elatoque animo de bello, quod +gerendum esset, disseruit, ut homines cura liberaret speque certissima +impleret. + +Profectus igitur in Hispaniam Scipio Carthaginem Novam, quo die venit, +expugnavit. Eo congestae erant omnes paene Africae et Hispaniae opes, +ibi arma, ibi pecunia, ibi totius Hispaniae obsides erant: quibus +omnibus potitus est Scipio. Inter captivos ad eum adducta est eximiae +formae adulta virgo. Quam ubi comperit inlustri loco inter Celtiberos +natam principique eius gentis adulescenti desponsam esse, arcessitis +parentibus et sponso eam reddidit. Parentes virginis, qui ad eam +redimendam satis magnum auri pondus attulerant, Scipionem orabant ut id +a se donum acciperet. Scipio aurum ante pedes poni iussit vocatoque ad +se virginis sponso, “Super dotem” inquit “quam accepturus a socero es, +haec tibi a me dotalia dona accedent” aurumque tollere ac sibi habere +iussit. Ille domum reversus ad referendam Scipioni gratiam Celtiberos +Romanis conciliavit. + +Deinde Scipio Hasdrubalem victum ex Hispania expulit. Castris hostium +potitus omnem praedam militibus concessit, captivos Hispanos sine pretio +domum dimisit; Afros vero vendi iussit. Erat inter eos puer adultus +regii generis, forma insigni: quem cum percontaretur Scipio quis et +cuias esset, et cur id aetatis in castris fuisset, “Numida sum” inquit +puer, “Massivam populares vocant: orbus a patre relictus, apud avum +maternum, Numidiae regem, educatus sum. Cum avunculo Masinissa, qui +nuper subsidio Carthaginiensibus venit, in Hispaniam traieci; prohibitus +propter aetatem a Masinissa numquam ante proelium inii. Eo die, quo +pugnatum est cum Romanis, inscio avunculo, clam armis equoque sumpto, in +aciem exii: ibi, prolapso equo, captus sum a Romanis.” Scipio eum +interrogat velletne ad avunculum reverti. Cum, effusis gaudio lacrimis, +id vero se cupere puer diceret, tum Scipio puero anulum aureum equumque +ornatum donat datisque qui tuto deducerent equitibus dimisit. + +Cum Publius Cornelius Scipio se erga Hispanos clementer gessisset, +circumfusa multitudo eum regem ingenti consensu appellavit; at Scipio, +silentio per praeconem facto, “Nomen imperatoris” inquit, “quo me mei +milites appellarunt, mihi maximum est: regium nomen, alibi magnum, Romae +intolerabile est. Si id amplissimum iudicatis, quod regale est, vobis +licet existimare regalem in me esse animum; sed oro vos ut a regis +appellatione abstineatis.” Sensere etiam barbari magnitudinem animi, qua +Scipio id aspernabatur, quod ceteri mortales admirantur et concupiscunt. + +Scipio recepta Hispania cum iam bellum in ipsam Africam transferre +meditaretur, conciliandos prius regum et gentium animos existimavit. +Syphacem, Maurorum regem, opulentissimum totius Africae regem, quem +magno usui sibi fore speraret, primum tentare statuit. Itaque legatum +cum donis ad eum misit C. Laelium, quocum intima familiaritate vivebat. +Syphax amicitiam Romanorum se accipere adnuit, sed fidem nec dare nec +accipere, nisi cum ipso coram duce Romano, voluit. Scipio igitur in +Africam traiecit. Forte ita incidit, ut eo ipso tempore Hasdrubal pulsus +Hispania ad eundem portum appelleret, Syphacis amicitiam pariter +petiturus. Uterque a rege in hospitium invitatus. Cenatum simul apud +regem est; eodem etiam lecto Scipio atque Hasdrubal accubuerunt. Tanta +autem inerat comitas in Scipione, ut non Syphacem modo, sed etiam hostem +infestissimum Hasdrubalem sibi conciliaret. Scipio, foedere icto cum +Syphace, in Hispaniam ad exercitum rediit. + +Masinissa quoque amicitiam cum Scipione iungere iam dudum cupiebat. +Quare ad eum tres Numidarum principes misit ad tempus locumque conloquio +statuendum. Duos pro obsidibus retineri a Scipione iubet; remisso +tertio, qui Masinissam ad locum constitutum adduceret, Scipio et +Masinissa cum paucis in conloquium venerunt. Ceperat iam ante Numidam ex +fama rerum gestarum admiratio viri, sed maior praesentis veneratio +cepit: erat enim in vultu maiestas summa; accedebat promissa caesaries +habitusque corporis, non cultus munditiis, sed virilis vere ac +militaris, et florens iuventa. Prope attonitus ipso congressu Numida +gratias de filio fratris remisso agit: adfirmat se ex eo tempore eam +quaesivisse occasionem, quam tandem oblatam non omiserit; cupere se illi +et populo Romano operam navare. Laetus eum Scipio audivit atque in +societatem recepit. + +Scipio deinde Romam rediit et ante annos consul factus est. Sicilia ei +provincia decreta est permissumque ut in Africam inde traiceret. Qui cum +vellet ex fortissimis peditibus Romanis trecentorum equitum numerum +complere, nec posset illos subito armis et equis instruere, id prudenti +consilio perfecit. Namque ex omni Sicilia trecentos iuvenes nobilissimos +et ditissimos, qui equis militarent et secum in Africam traicerent, +legit diemque iis edixit, qua equis armisque instructi atque ornati +adessent. Gravis ea militia, procul domo, terra marique multos labores, +magna pericula adlatura videbatur; neque ipsos modo, sed parentes +cognatosque eorum ea cura angebat. Ubi dies quae dicta erat advenit, +arma equosque ostenderunt, sed omnes fere longinquum et grave bellum +horrere apparebat. Tunc Scipio militiam iis se remissurum ait, si arma +et equos militibus Romanis voluissent tradere. Laeti condicionem +acceperunt iuvenes Siculi. Ita Scipio sine publica impensa suos +instruxit ornavitque equites. + +Tunc Scipio ex Sicilia in Africam vento secundo profectus est tanto +militum ardore, ut non ad bellum duci viderentur, sed ad certa victoriae +praemia. Celeriter naves e conspectu Siciliae ablatae sunt conspectaque +brevi Africae litora. Scipio cum egrediens ad terram navi prolapsus +esset et ob hoc attonitos milites cerneret, id, quod trepidationem +adferebat, in hortationem convertens, “Africam oppressi” inquit, +“milites!” Expositis copiis in proximis tumulis castra metatus est. Ibi +speculatores hostium in castris deprehensos et ad se perductos nec +supplicio adfecit nec de consiliis ac viribus Poenorum percontatus est, +sed circa omnes Romani exercitus manipulos curavit deducendos; dein +interrogatos num ea satis considerassent, quae speculari erant iussi, +prandio dato incolumes dimisit. + +Scipioni in Africam advenienti Masinissa se coniunxit cum parva equitum +turma. Syphax vero a Romanis ad Poenos defecerat. Hasdrubal, Poenorum +dux, Syphaxque Scipioni se opposuerunt, qui utriusque castra una nocte +perrupit et incendit. Syphax ipse captus et vivus ad Scipionem +pertractus est. Syphacem in castra adduci cum esset nuntiatum, omnis +velut ad spectaculum triumphi multitudo effusa est; praecedebat ipse +vinctus, sequebatur grex nobilium Maurorum. Movebat omnes fortuna viri, +cuius amicitiam olim Scipio petierat. Regem aliosque captivos Romam +misit Scipio; Masinissam, qui egregie rem Romanam adiuverat, aurea +corona donavit. + +Haec et aliae, quae sequebantur, clades Carthaginiensibus tantum +terroris intulerunt, ut Hannibalem ex Italia ad tuendam patriam +revocarent. Frendens gemensque ac vix lacrimis temperans is dicitur +legatorum verba audisse mandatisque paruisse. Respexit saepe Italiae +litora, semet accusans, quod non victorem exercitum statim ab Cannensi +pugna Romam duxisset. Zamam venerat Hannibal, quae urbs quinque dierum +iter a Carthagine abest, et nuntium ad Scipionem misit ut conloquendi +secum potestatem faceret. Scipio cum conloquium haud abnuisset, dies +locusque constituitur. Itaque congressi sunt duo clarissimi suae aetatis +duces. Steterunt aliquamdiu taciti mutuaque admiratione defixi. Cum vero +de condicionibus pacis inter eos non convenisset, ad suos se receperunt, +renuntiantes armis decernendum esse. Commisso deinde proelio Hannibal +victus cum quattuor equitibus fugit. Ceterum constat utrumque de altero +confessum esse nec melius instrui aciem nec acrius potuisse pugnari. + +Carthaginienses metu perculsi ad petendam pacem oratores mittunt +triginta civitatis principes. Qui ubi in castra Romana venerunt, veniam +civitati petebant non culpam purgantes, sed initium culpae in Hannibalem +transferentes. Victis leges imposuit Scipio. Legati, cum nullas +condiciones recusarent, Romam profecti sunt, ut, quae a Scipione pacta +essent, ea patrum ac populi auctoritate confirmarentur. Ita pace terra +marique parta, Scipio exercitu in naves imposito Romam revertit. Ad quem +advenientem concursus ingens factus est; effusa non ex urbibus modo, sed +etiam ex agris multitudo viam obsidebat. Scipio inter gratulantium +plausus triumpho omnium clarissimo urbem est invectus primusque nomine +victae a se gentis est nobilitatus Africanusque appellatus. + +Ex his rebus gestis virum eum esse virtutis divinae vulgo creditum est. +Id etiam dicere haud piget, quod scriptores de eo litteris mandaverunt, +Scipionem consuevisse, priusquam dilucesceret, in Capitolium ventitare +ac iubere aperiri cellam Iovis ibi solum diu demorari, quasi +consultantem de re publica cum Iove: aedituosque eius templi saepe esse +miratos, quod eum id temporis in Capitolium ingredientem canes, semper +in alios saevientes, non latrarent. Has vulgi de Scipione opiniones +confirmare atque approbare videbantur dicta factaque eius pleraque +admiranda, ex quibus est unum huiuscemodi. Adsidebat oppugnabatque +oppidum in Hispania, situ moenibusque ac defensoribus validum et +munitum, re etiam cibaria copiosum, neque ulla eius potiundi spes erat. +Quodam die ius in castris sedens dicebat Scipio atque ex eo loco id +oppidum procul videbatur. Tum e militibus, qui in iure apud eum stabant, +interrogavit quispiam ex more in quem diem locumque vades sisti iuberet. +Et Scipio manum ad ipsam oppidi, quod obsidebatur, arcem protendens, +“Perendie” inquit “sese sistant illo in loco,” atque ita factum. Die +tertia, in quam vades sisti iusserat, oppidum captum est. Eodem die in +arce eius oppidi ius dixit. + +Hannibal, a Scipione victus suisque invisus, ad Antiochum, Syriae regem, +confugit eumque hostem Romanis fecit. Missi sunt Roma legati ad +Antiochum, in quibus erat Scipio Africanus, qui cum Hannibale Ephesi +conlocutus ab eo quaesivit, quem fuisse maximum imperatorem crederet. +Respondit Hannibal Alexandrum, Macedonum regem, maximum sibi videri, +quod parva manu innumerabiles exercitus fudisset. Quaerenti deinde, quem +secundum poneret, “Pyrrhum” inquit, “quod primus castra metari docuit +nemoque illo elegantius loca cepit et praesidia deposuit.” Sciscitanti +denique quem tertium duceret, semet ipsum dixit. Tum ridens Scipio +“Quidnam tu diceres” inquit “si me vicisses?” “Tum me vero” respondit +Hannibal “et ante Alexandrum et ante Pyrrhum et ante omnes alios +imperatores posuissem.” Ita improviso adsentationis genere Scipionem e +grege imperatorum velut inaestimabilem secernebat. + +Scipio ipse fertur quondam dixisse, cum eum quidam parum pugnacem +dicerent, “Imperatorem me mater, non bellatorem peperit.” Idem dicere +solitus est non solum dandam esse viam fugientibus, sed etiam muniendam. + +Decreto adversus Antiochum bello cum Syria provincia obvenisset Lucio +Scipioni, quia parum in eo putabatur esse animi, parum roboris, senatus +gerendi huius belli curam mandari volebat conlegae eius C. Laelio. +Surgens tunc Scipio Africanus, frater maior Lucii Scipionis, illam +familiae ignominiam deprecatus est: dixit in fratre suo summam esse +virtutem, summum consilium seque ei legatum fore promisit. Quod cum ab +eo esset dictum, nihil est de Lucii Scipionis provincia commutatum: +itaque frater natu maior minori legatus in Asiam profectus est et tam +diu eum consilio operaque adiuvit, donec triumphum ille et cognomen +Asiatici peperisset. + +Eodem bello filius Scipionis Africani captus est et ad Antiochum +deductus. Benigne et liberaliter adulescentem rex habuit, quamquam ab +eius patre tum maxime finibus imperii pellebatur. Cum deinde pacem +Antiochus a Romanis peteret, legatus eius Publium Scipionem adiit eique +filium sine pretio redditurum regem dixit, si per eum pacem impetrasset. +Cui Scipio respondit “Abi, nuntia regi, me pro tanto munere gratias +agere; sed nunc aliam gratiam non possum referre, quam ut ei suadeam ut +bello absistat et pacis condicionem nullam recuset.” Pax non convenit; +tamen Antiochus Scipioni filium remisit tantique viri maiestatem +venerari quam dolorem suum ulcisci maluit. + +Victo Antiocho cum praedae ratio a L. Scipione reposceretur, Africanus +prolatum ab eo librum, quo acceptae et expensae summae continebantur et +refelli inimicorum accusatio poterat, discerpsit, indignatus de ea re +dubitari, quae sub ipso legato administrata esset. Quin etiam hunc in +modum verba fecit: “Non est quod quaeratis, patres conscripti, num +parvam pecuniam in aerarium rettulerim, qui antea illud Punico auro +repleverim, neque mea innocentia potest in dubium vocari. Cum Africam +totam potestati vestrae subiecerim, nihil ex ea praeter cognomen +rettuli. Non igitur me Punicae, non fratrem meum Asiaticae gazae avarum +reddiderunt; sed uterque nostrum invidia quam pecunia est locupletior.” +Tam constantem defensionem Scipionis universus senatus comprobavit. + +Deinde Scipioni Africano duo tribuni plebis diem dixerunt, quod praeda +ex Antiocho capta aerarium fraudasset. Ubi causae dicendae dies venit, +Scipio magna hominum frequentia in Forum est deductus. Iussus causam +dicere rostra conscendit et, corona triumphali capiti suo imposita, “Hoc +ego die” inquit “Hannibalem Poenum, imperio nostro inimicissimum, magno +proelio vici in terra Africa pacemque nobis et victoriam peperi +insperabilem. Ne igitur simus adversus deos ingrati, sed censeo +relinquamus nebulones hos eamusque nunc protinus in Capitolium Iovi +optimo maximo supplicatum.” A rostris in Capitolium ascendit; simul se +universa contio ab accusatoribus avertit et secuta Scipionem est, nec +quisquam praeter praeconem, qui reum citabat, cum tribunis remansit. +Celebratior is dies favore hominum fuit, quam quo triumphans de Syphace +rege et Carthaginiensibus urbem est ingressus. Inde, ne amplius +tribuniciis iniuriis vexaretur, in Literninum concessit, ubi reliquam +egit aetatem sine urbis desiderio. + +Cum in Liternina villa se contineret, complures praedonum duces ad eum +videndum forte confluxerunt. Quos cum ad vim faciendam venire +existimasset, praesidium servorum in tecto conlocavit aliaque parabat, +quae ad eos repellendos opus erant. Quod ubi praedones animadverterunt, +abiectis armis ianuae appropinquant et clara voce nuntiant Scipioni se +non vitae eius hostes, sed virtutis admiratores venisse, conspectum +tanti viri, quasi caeleste aliquod beneficium, expetentes; proinde ne +gravaretur se spectandum praebere. Haec postquam audivit Scipio, fores +reserari eosque introduci iussit.

Tiberius attempted to remedy these + evils by limiting the number of acres of the public land which + might be held by any individual and by distributing the lands thus + redeemed among the poorer classes. + 64.10: These colonies were intended to aid in relieving the + distress at Rome by removing part of the population and supplying + such persons with lands. + 64.11: It was a general rule that no magistrate should hold the + same office for two successive terms. Thus no man could be + reëlected consul until ten years after the expiration of the first + term. When Tiberius, at the end of his year as tribune, presented + himself for reëlection, the aristocrats appealed to this rule. + Gracchus might have replied that the rule had often been set aside + under special circumstances. Still, on the whole, his conduct + seems to have been unconstitutional. + 65.1: This statement is probably wholly false. As the champions of + the poor against the rich, the Gracchi were hated by the + aristocrats, and received no favors at the hands of Roman + historians. + 65.2: #Hōc . . . pōsceret#: ‘The nobles interpreted this to mean + that he was demanding a kingly crown.’ #pōsceret# is subjunctive + as giving in indirect discourse the thought of the nobles; cf. + p. 3, n. 6. + 65.3: ‘although.’ + 65.4: See Vocab., _equestris_ and _eques_. + 65.5: #dēgere potuerat#: ‘he might have spent.’ Cf. _tuērī + poterant_, l. 12. + 65.6: _adipīscor_. + 65.7: #aerārium effūdit#: ‘he wasted (the money in) the treasury.’ + The reference is to the corn law mentioned in the next sentence. + This entitled all citizens residing in Rome to a certain measure + of corn monthly for less than the market price. The distribution + was thus a constant drain upon the treasury. + 65.8: ‘citizenship.’ + 65.9: ‘tried to give.’ The imperfect tense, like the present, + often denotes attempted action; cf. _dīvidēbat_, l. 16, and + _commendābat_, l. 22.

Gaius Marius# [[stripped text]] + +C. Marius, humili loco natus, militiae tirocinium in Hispania duce +Scipione posuit. Erat imprimis Scipioni carus ob singularem virtutem et +impigram ad pericula et labores alacritatem. Cum aliquando inter cenam +Scipionem quidam interrogasset, si quid illi accidisset, quemnam res +publica aeque magnum habitura esset imperatorem, Scipio, percusso +leniter Marii umero, “Fortasse hunc” inquit. Quo dicto excitatus Marius +dignos rebus, quas postea gessit, spiritus concepit. + +Q. Metellum in Numidiam contra Iugurtham missum, cuius legatus erat, cum +ab eo Romam missus esset, apud populum Romanum criminatus est bellum +ducere: si se consulem fecissent, brevi tempore aut vivum aut mortuum +Iugurtham se in potestatem populi Romani redacturum. Itaque creatus est +consul et in Metelli locum suffectus. Bellum ab illo prospere coeptum +confecit. Iugurtha ad Gaetulos perfugerat eorumque regem Bocchum +adversus Romanos concitaverat. Marius Gaetulos et Bocchum aggressus +fudit; castellum in excelsa ripa positum, ubi regii thesauri erant, non +sine multo labore expugnavit. Bocchus, bello defessus, legatos ad Marium +misit, pacem orantes. Sulla quaestor, a Mario ad regem remissus, Boccho +persuasit ut Iugurtham Romanis traderet. Iugurtha igitur vinctus ad +Marium deductus est; quem Marius triumphans ante currum egit et in +carcerem caenosum inclusit. Quo cum Iugurtha detracta veste +ingrederetur, os ridentis in modum diduxisse et stupens similisque +desipienti exclamasse fertur: “Pro! quam frigidum est vestrum balneum!” +Paucis diebus post in carcere necatus est. + +Marius post bellum Numidicum iterum consul creatus bellumque ei contra +Cimbros et Teutones decretum est. Hi novi hostes, ab extremis Germaniae +finibus profugi, novas sedes quaerebant, exclusique Gallia et Hispania +cum in Italiam remigrarent, a Romanis ut aliquid sibi terrae darent +petierunt. Repulsi, quod nequiverant precibus, armis petere constituunt. +Tres duces Romani impetus barbarorum non sustinuerunt. Omnes fugati, +exuti castris. Actum erat de imperio Romano, nisi Marius fuisset. Hic +primo Teutones sub ipsis Alpium radicibus adsecutus proelio oppressit. +Vallem fluviumque medium hostes tenebant: Romanis aquarum nulla copia. +Aucta necessitate virtus causa victoriae fuit. Nam flagitante aquam +exercitu Marius “Viri” inquit “estis, en illic aquam habetis.” Itaque +tanto ardore pugnatum est eaque caedes hostium fuit, ut Romani victores +de cruento flumine non plus aquae biberent quam sanguinis barbarorum. +Caesa traduntur hostium ducenta milia, capta nonaginta. Rex ipse +Teutobochus in proximo saltu comprehensus insigne spectaculum triumphi +fuit: quippe vir proceritatis eximiae super tropaea ipsa eminebat. + +Deletis Teutonibus, C. Marius in Cimbros se convertit. Qui cum ex alia +parte Italiam ingressi Athesim flumen non ponte nec navibus, sed +iniectis arborum truncis, velut aggere, traiecissent, occurrit iis C. +Marius. Cimbri legatos ad consulem miserunt, agros urbesque sibi et +fratribus postulantes, Teutonum enim cladem ignorabant. Quaerente Mario +quos illi fratres dicerent, cum Teutones nominassent, ridens Marius +“Omittite” inquit “fratres; tenent hi acceptam a nobis terram +aeternumque tenebunt.” Tum legati se ludibrio haberi sentientes ultionem +Mario minati sunt, simul atque Teutones advenissent. “Atqui adsunt” +inquit Marius “nec sane civile foret vos fratribus vestris non salutatis +discedere.” Tum vinctos adduci iussit Teutonum duces, qui in proelio +capti erant. + +His rebus auditis, Cimbri egrediuntur castris et cum paucis suorum ad +vallum Romanum adequitans Boiorix, Cimbrorum dux, Marium ad pugnam +provocat et diem pugnae a Romanorum imperatore petit. Proximum dedit +consul. Marius cum aciem ita instituisset, ut pulvis in oculos et ora +hostium ferretur, incredibili strage prostrata est illa Cimbrorum +multitudo: caesa traduntur centum octoginta hominum milia. Nec minor cum +uxoribus pugna quam cum viris fuit, cum obiectis undique plaustris, +desuper, quasi e turribus, lanceis contisque pugnarent. Victae tamen cum +missa ad Marium legatione libertatem non impetrassent, suffocatis +elisisque infantibus suis aut mutuis conciderunt vulneribus aut vinculo +e crinibus suis facto ab arboribus pependerunt. Canes quoque defendere, +Cimbris caesis, eorum domos. Marius pro duobus triumphis, qui +offerebantur, uno contentus fuit. Primores civitatis, qui ei aliquamdiu +ut novo homini ad tantos honores evecto inviderant, conservatam ab eo +rem publicam fatebantur. In ipsa acie Marius duas Camertium cohortes, +mira virtute vim Cimbrorum sustinentes contra legem civitate donaverat. +Quod quidem factum et vere et egregie postea excusavit, dicens inter +armorum strepitum verba se iuris civilis exaudire non potuisse. + +Illa tempestate primum Romae bellum civile commotum est. Causam bello +dedit C. Marius. Cum enim Sulla consul contra Mithridatem, regem Ponti, +missus fuisset, Sulpicius, tribunus plebis, legem ad populum tulit ut +Sullae imperium abrogaretur, C. Mario bellum decerneretur Mithridaticum. +Qua re Sulla commotus cum exercitu ad urbem venit, eam armis occupavit, +Sulpicium interfecit, Marium fugavit. Marius hostes persequentes fugiens +aliquamdiu in palude delituit. Sed paulo post repertus extractusque, ut +erat nudo corpore caenoque oblitus, iniecto in collum loro Minturnas +raptus et in custodiam coniectus est. Missus est ad eum occidendum +servus publicus, natione Cimber, quem Marius vultus auctoritate +deterruit. Cum enim hominem ad se stricto gladio venientem vidisset +“Tune, homo,” inquit “C. Marium audebis occidere?” Quo audito attonitus +ille ac tremens abiecto ferro fugit, Marium se non posse occidere +clamitans. Marius deinde ab iis, qui prius eum occidere voluerant, +e carcere emissus est. + +Accepta navicula in Africam traiecit et in agrum Carthaginiensem +pervenit. Ibi cum in locis solitariis sederet, venit ad eum lictor +Sextilii praetoris, qui tum Africam obtinebat. Ab hoc, quem numquam +laesisset, Marius humanitatis tamen aliquod officium exspectabat; at +lictor decedere eum provincia iussit, nisi in se animadverti vellet: +torveque intuentem et vocem nullam emittentem Marium rogavit tandem +ecquid renuntiari praetori vellet? Marius “Abi” inquit, “nuntia vidisse +te Gaium Marium in Carthaginis ruinis sedentem.” Duobus clarissimis +exemplis de inconstantia rerum humanarum eum admonebat, cum et urbis +maximae excidium et viri clarissimi casum ante oculos poneret. + +Profecto ad bellum Mithridaticum Sulla, Marius revocatus a Cinna in +Italiam rediit, efferatus magis calamitate quam domitus. Cum exercitu +Romam ingressus eam caedibus et rapinis vastavit; omnes adversae +factionis nobiles variis suppliciorum generibus adfecit: quinque dies +continuos totidemque noctes illa scelerum omnium duravit licentia. Hoc +tempore admiranda sane populi Romani abstinentia fuit. Cum enim Marius +occisorum domos multitudini diripiendas obiecisset, inveniri potuit +nemo, qui civili luctu praedam peteret: quae quidem tam misericors +continentia plebis tacita quaedam crudelium victorum vituperatio fuit. +Tandem Marius, senio et laboribus confectus, in morbum incidit et +ingenti omnium laetitia vitam finivit. Cuius viri si examinentur cum +virtutibus vitia, haud facile sit dictu utrum bello melior, an pace +perniciosior fuerit: namque quam rem publicam armatus servavit, eam +primo togatus omni genere fraudis, postremo armis hostiliter evertit. + +Erat Marius durior ad humanitatis studia et ingenuarum artium +contemptor. Cum aedem Honoris de manubiis hostium vovisset, spreta +peregrinorum marmorum nobilitate artificumque Graecorum arte, eam +vulgari lapide per artificem Romanum curavit aedificandam. Et Graecas +litteras despiciebat, quod doctoribus suis parum ad virtutem +profuissent. At idem fortis, validus, adversus dolorem confirmatus. Cum +ei varices in crure secarentur, vetuit se adligari. Acrem tamen fuisse +doloris morsum ipse ostendit: nam medico, alterum crus postulanti, +noluit praebere, quod maiorem esse remedii quem morbi dolorem iudicaret. + + + [[68]] + + #XXIII.

Post ad Mithridaticum bellum missus +a senatu non modo opinionem vicit omnium, sed etiam gloriam superiorum +ducum.

Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus# [[stripped text]] + +Gnaeus Pompeius, stirpis senatoriae, bello civili se et patrem consilio +servavit. Cum enim Pompei pater exercitui suo ob avaritiam esset +invisus, facta in eum conspiratione, Terentius quidam, Gnaei Pompei +filii contubernalis, hunc occidendum suscepit, dum alii tabernaculum +patris incenderent. Quae res cum iuveni Pompeio cenanti nuntiata esset, +nihil periculo motus solito hilarius bibit et cum Terentio eadem, qua +antea, comitate usus est. Deinde cubiculum ingressus clam subduxit se +tentorio et firmam patri circumdedit custodiam. Terentius tum destricto +ense ad lectum Pompei accessit multisque ictibus stragula percussit. +Orta mox seditione Pompeius se in media coniecit agmina, militesque +tumultuantes precibus et lacrimis placavit ac duci reconciliavit. + +Eodem bello Pompeius partes Sullae secutus ita se gessit ut ab eo maxime +diligeretur. Annos tres et viginti natus, ut Sullae auxilio veniret, +paterni exercitus reliquias conlegit, statimque dux peritus exstitit. +Magnus illius apud militem amor, magna apud omnes admiratio fuit; nullus +ei labor taedio, nulla defatigatio molestiae erat. Cibi vinique +temperans, somni parcus; inter milites corpus exercens cum alacribus +saltu, cum velocibus cursu, cum validis luctando certabat. Tum ad Sullam +iter intendit et in eo itinere tres hostium exercitus aut fudit aut sibi +adiunxit. Quem ubi Sulla ad se accedere audivit egregiamque sub signis +iuventutem aspexit, desiliit ex equo Pompeiumque salutavit imperatorem +et postea ei venienti solebat sella adsurgere et caput aperire et equo +descendere, quem honorem nemini nisi Pompeio tribuebat. + +Postea Pompeius in Siciliam profectus est, ut eam a Carbone, Sullae +inimico, occupatam reciperet. Carbo comprehensus et ad Pompeium ductus +est: quem Pompeius, etsi Carbo muliebriter mortem extimescens demisse et +flebiliter mortem deprecabatur, ad supplicium duci iussit. Longe +moderatior fuit Pompeius erga Sthenium, Siciliae cuiusdam civitatis +principem. Cum enim in eam civitatem animadvertere decrevisset, quae +sibi adversata fuisset, inique eum facturum Sthenius exclamavit, si ob +unius culpam omnes puniret. Interroganti Pompeio quisnam ille unus +esset, “Ego” inquit Sthenius “qui cives meos ad id induxi.” Tam libera +voce delectatus Pompeius omnibus et Sthenio ipsi pepercit. + +Transgressus inde in Africam Iarbam, Numidiae regem, qui Marii partibus +favebat, bello persecutus intra dies quadraginta oppressit et Africam +subegit adulescens quattuor et viginti annorum. Deinde cum litterae ei a +Sulla redditae essent, quibus exercitu dimisso cum una legione +successorem exspectare iubebatur, Pompeius, quamquam aegre id ferebat, +tamen paruit et Romam revertit. Revertenti incredibilis hominum +multitudo obviam ivit; Sulla quoque laetus eum excepit et Magni +cognomine consalutavit. Nihilo minus Pompeio triumphum petenti restitit: +neque vero ea re a proposito deterritus est Pompeius aususque dicere +plures adorare solem orientem quam occidentem: quo dicto innuebat Sullae +potentiam minui, suam crescere. Ea voce audita Sulla, confidentia +adulescentis perculsus, “Triumphet! triumphet!” exclamavit. + +Metello iam seni et bellum in Hispania segnius gerenti conlega datus +Pompeius adversus Sertorium vario eventu dimicavit. Maximum ibi in +proelio quodam periculum subiit: cum enim vir vasta corporis magnitudine +impetum in eum fecisset, Pompeius manum amputavit; sed multis in eum +concurrentibus vulnus in femore accepit et a suis fugientibus desertus +in hostium potestate erat. At praeter spem evasit: barbari enim equum +eius auro phalerisque eximiis instructum ceperant. Dum igitur praedam +inter se altercantes partiuntur, Pompeius eorum manus effugit. Altero +proelio cum Metellus Pompeio laboranti auxilio venisset, Sertorius +recedere coactus dixisse fertur: “Nisi anus illa supervenisset, ego hunc +puerum verberibus castigatum Romam dimisissem.” Metellum anum +appellabat, quia is, iam senex, ad mollem et effeminatam vitam +deflexerat. Sertorio interfecto Pompeius Hispaniam recepit. + +Cum piratae illa tempestate maria omnia infestarent et quasdam etiam +Italiae urbes diripuissent, ad eos opprimendos cum imperio +extraordinario missus est Pompeius. Nimiae viri potentiae obsistebant +quidam ex optimatibus et imprimis Quintus Catulus. Qui cum in contione +dixisset esse quidem praeclarum virum Cn. Pompeium, sed non esse uni +omnia tribuenda, adiecissetque: “Si quid huic acciderit, quem in eius +locum substituetis?” summo consensu succlamavit universa contio, “Te, +Quinte Catule.” Tam honorifico civium testimonio victus Catulus e +contione discessit. Pompeius, dispositis per omnes maris recessus +navibus, brevi terrarum orbem illa peste liberavit; praedones multis +locis victos fudit; eosdem in deditionem acceptos in urbibus et agris +procul a mari conlocavit. Nihil hac victoria celerius, nam intra +quadragesimum diem piratas toto mari expulit. + +Confecto bello piratico, Gnaeus Pompeius contra Mithridatem profectus in +Asiam magna celeritate contendit. Proelium cum rege conserere cupiebat, +neque opportuna dabatur pugnandi facultas, quia Mithridates interdiu +castris se continebat, noctu vero haud tutum erat congredi cum hoste in +locis ignotis. Nocte tamen aliquando cum Pompeius Mithridatem aggressus +esset, luna magno fuit Romanis adiumento. Quam cum Romani a tergo +haberent, umbrae corporum longius proiectae ad primos usque hostium +ordines pertinebant, unde decepti regii milites in umbras, tamquam in +propinquum hostem, tela mittebant. Victus Mithridates in Pontum +profugit. Pharnaces filius bellum ei intulit, qui, occisis a patre +fratribus, vitae suae ipse timebat. Mithridates a filio obsessus venenum +sumpsit; quod cum tardius subiret, quia adversus venena multis antea +medicamentis corpus firmaverat, a milite Gallo, a quo ut adiuvaret se +petierat, interfectus est. + +Tigrani deinde, Armeniae regi, qui Mithridatis partes secutus erat, +Pompeius bellum intulit eumque ad deditionem compulit. Qui cum +procubuisset ad genua Pompei, eum erexit, et benignis verbis recreatum +diadema, quod abiecerat, capiti reponere iussit, aeque pulchrum esse +iudicans et vincere reges et facere. Inde in Iudaeam profectus Romanorum +primus Iudaeos domuit, Hierosolyma, caput gentis, cepit, templumque iure +victoriae ingressus est. Rebus Asiae compositis, in Italiam versus ad +urbem venit, non, ut plerique timuerant, armatus, sed dimisso exercitu, +et tertium triumphum biduo duxit. Insignis fuit multis novis +inusitatisque ornamentis hic triumphus; sed nihil inlustrius visum, quam +quod tribus triumphis tres orbis partes devictae causam praebuerant: +Pompeius enim, quod antea contigerat nemini, primum ex Africa, iterum ex +Europa, tertio ex Asia triumphavit, felix opinione hominum futurus, si, +quem gloriae, eundem vitae finem habuisset neque adversam fortunam esset +expertus iam senex. + +Posteriore enim tempore orta inter Pompeium et Caesarem gravi +dissensione, quod hic superiorem, ille parem ferre non posset, bellum +civile exarsit. Caesar infesto exercitu in Italiam venit. Pompeius, +relicta urbe ac deinde Italia ipsa, Thessaliam petit et cum eo consules +senatusque omnis: quem insecutus Caesar apud Pharsalum acie fudit. +Victus Pompeius ad Ptolemaeum, Aegypti regem, cui tutor a senatu datus +erat, profugit, qui Pompeium interfici iussit. Latus Pompei sub oculis +uxoris et liberorum mucrone confossum est, caput praecisum, truncus in +Nilum coniectus. Deinde caput cum anulo ad Caesarem delatum est, qui eo +viso lacrimas non continens illud multis pretiosissimisque odoribus +cremandum curavit. + +Is fuit Pompei post tres consulatus et totidem triumphos vitae exitus. +Erant in Pompeio multae et magnae virtutes ac praecipue admiranda +frugalitas. Cum ei aegrotanti praecepisset medicus ut turdum ederet, +negarent autem servi eam avem usquam aestivo tempore posse reperiri, +nisi apud Lucullum, qui turdos domi saginaret, vetuit Pompeius turdum +inde peti, medicoque dixit: “Ergo, nisi Lucullus perditus deliciis +esset, non viveret Pompeius?” Aliam avem, quae parabilis esset, sibi +iussit apponi. + +Viris doctis magnum honorem habebat Pompeius. Ex Syria decedens, +confecto bello Mithridatico, cum Rhodum venisset, Posidonium cupiit +audire; sed cum audivisset eum graviter esse aegrum, quod vehementer +eius artus laborarent, voluit tamen nobilissimum philosophum visere. Mos +erat ut, consule aedes aliquas ingressuro, lictor fores percuteret, +admonens consulem adesse, at Pompeius fores Posidonii percuti honoris +causa vetuit. Quem ut vidit et salutavit, moleste se dixit ferre, quod +eum non posset audire. At ille “Tu vero” inquit “potes, nec committam ut +dolor corporis efficiat ut frustra tantus vir ad me venerit.” Itaque +cubans graviter et copiose de hoc ipso disputavit: nihil esse bonum nisi +quod honestum esset, nihil malum dici posse, quod turpe non esset. Cum +vero dolores acriter eum pungerent, saepe “Nihil agis,” inquit “dolor! +quamvis sis molestus, numquam te esse malum confitebor.” + + + #XXVI.

Iulius Caesar, nobilissima Iuliorum genitus familia, annum agens +sextum et decimum patrem amisit. Corneliam, Cinnae filiam, duxit uxorem; +cuius pater cum esset Sullae inimicissimus, is Caesarem voluit +compellere ut eam repudiaret; neque id potuit efficere. Qua re Caesar +bonis spoliatus cum etiam ad necem quaereretur, mutata veste nocte urbe +elapsus est et quamquam tunc quartanae morbo laborabat, prope per +singulas noctes latebras commutare cogebatur; et comprehensus a Sullae +liberto, ne ad Sullam perduceretur, vix data pecunia evasit. Postremo +per propinquos et adfines suos veniam impetravit. Satis constat Sullam, +cum deprecantibus amicissimis et ornatissimis viris aliquamdiu +denegasset atque illi pertinaciter contenderent, expugnatum tandem +proclamasse, vincerent, dummodo scirent eum, quem incolumem tanto opere +cuperent, aliquando optimatium partibus, quas secum simul defendissent, +exitio futurum; nam Caesari multos Marios inesse. + +Stipendia prima in Asia fecit. In expugnatione Mitylenarum corona civica +donatus est. Mortuo Sulla, Rhodum secedere statuit, ut per otium +Apollonio Moloni, tunc clarissimo dicendi magistro, operam daret. Huc +dum traicit, a praedonibus captus est mansitque apud eos prope +quadraginta dies. Per omne autem illud spatium ita se gessit, ut piratis +pariter terrori venerationique esset. Comites interim servosque ad +expediendas pecunias, quibus redimeretur, dimisit. Viginti talenta +piratae postulaverant: ille quinquaginta daturum se spopondit. Quibus +numeratis cum expositus esset in litore, confestim Miletum, quae urbs +proxime aberat, properavit ibique contracta classe invectus in eum +locum, in quo ipsi praedones erant, partem classis fugavit, partem +mersit, aliquot naves cepit piratasque in potestatem redactos eo +supplicio, quod illis saepe minatus inter iocum erat, adfecit crucique +suffixit. + +Quaestori ulterior Hispania obvenit. Quo profectus cum Alpes transiret +et ad conspectum pauperis cuiusdam vici comites per iocum inter se +disputarent num illic etiam esset ambitioni locus, serio dixit Caesar +malle se ibi primum esse, quam Romae secundum. Dominationis avidus +a prima aetate regnum concupiscebat semperque in ore habebat hos +Euripidis, Graeci poetae, versus: + + Nam si violandum est ius, regnandi gratia + Violandum est. Aliis rebus pietatem colas. + +Cumque Gades, quod est Hispaniae oppidum, venisset, animadversa apud +Herculis templum magni Alexandri imagine ingemuit et quasi pertaesus +ignaviam suam, quod nihildum a se memorabile actum esset in ea aetate, +qua iam Alexander orbem terrarum subegisset, missionem continuo +efflagitavit ad captandas quam primum maiorum rerum occasiones in urbe. + +Aedilis praeter comitium ac Forum etiam Capitolium ornavit porticibus. +Venationes autem ludosque et cum conlega M. Bibulo et separatim edidit: +quo factum est ut communium quoque impensarum solus gratiam caperet. His +autem rebus patrimonium effudit tantumque conflavit aes alienum, ut ipse +diceret sibi opus esse millies sestertium, ut haberet nihil. + +Consul deinde creatus cum M. Bibulo, societatem cum Gnaeo Pompeio et +Marco Crasso iunxit Caesar, ne quid ageretur in re publica, quod +displicuisset ulli ex tribus. Deinde legem tulit ut ager Campanus plebi +divideretur. Cui legi cum senatus repugnaret, rem ad populum detulit. +Bibulus conlega in Forum venit, ut legi obsisteret, sed tanta in eum +commota est seditio, ut in caput eius cophinus stercore plenus +effunderetur fascesque ei frangerentur atque adeo ipse armis Foro +expelleretur. Qua re cum Bibulus per reliquum anni tempus domo abditus +Curia abstineret, unus ex eo tempore Caesar omnia in re publica ad +arbitrium administrabat, ut nonnulli urbanorum, si quid testandi gratia +signarent, per iocum non, ut mos erat, ‘consulibus Caesare et +Bibulo’ actum scriberent, sed ‘Iulio et Caesare,’ unum consulem nomine +et cognomine pro duobus appellantes. + +Functus consulatu Caesar Galliam provinciam accepit. Gessit autem novem +annis, quibus in imperio fuit, haec fere: Galliam in provinciae formam +redegit; Germanos, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, primus Romanorum ponte +fabricato aggressus maximis adfecit cladibus. Aggressus est Britannos, +ignotos antea, superatisque pecunias et obsides imperavit. Hic cum multa +Romanorum militum insignia narrantur, tum illud egregium ipsius +Caesaris, quod, nutante in fugam exercitu, rapto fugientis e manu scuto +in primam volitans aciem proelium restituit. Idem alio proelio legionis +aquiliferum ineundae fugae causa iam conversum faucibus comprehensum in +contrariam partem detraxit dextramque ad hostem tendens “Quorsum tu” +inquit “abis? Illic sunt, cum quibus dimicamus.” Qua adhortatione omnium +legionum trepidationem correxit vincique paratas vincere docuit. + +Interfecto interea apud Parthos Crasso et defuncta Iulia, Caesaris +filia, quae, nupta Pompeio, generi socerique concordiam tenebat, statim +aemulatio erupit. Iam pridem Pompeio suspectae Caesaris opes et Caesari +Pompeiana dignitas gravis, nec hic ferebat parem, nec ille superiorem. +Itaque cum Caesar in Gallia detineretur, et, ne imperfecto bello +discederet, postulasset ut sibi liceret, quamvis absenti, alterum +consulatum petere, a senatu, suadentibus Pompeio eiusque amicis, negatum +ei est. Hanc iniuriam acceptam vindicaturus in Italiam rediit et +bellandum ratus cum exercitu Rubiconem flumen, qui provinciae eius finis +erat, transiit. Hoc ad flumen paulum constitisse fertur ac reputans +quantum moliretur, conversus ad proximos, “Etiamnunc” inquit “regredi +possumus; quod si ponticulum transierimus, omnia armis agenda erunt.” +Postremo autem “Iacta alea esto!” exclamans exercitum traici iussit +plurimisque urbibus occupatis Brundisium contendit, quo Pompeius +consulesque confugerant. + +Qui cum inde in Epirum traiecissent, Caesar, eos secutus a Brundisio, +Dyrrachium inter oppositas classes gravissima hieme transmisit; +copiisque quas subsequi iusserat diutius cessantibus, cum ad eas +arcessendas frustra misisset, mirae audaciae facinus edidit. Morae enim +impatiens castris noctu egreditur, clam naviculam conscendit, obvoluto +capite, ne agnosceretur, et quamquam mare saeva tempestate intumescebat, +in altum tamen protinus dirigi navigium iubet et, gubernatore +trepidante, “Quid times?” inquit “Caesarem vehis!” neque prius +gubernatorem cedere adversae tempestati passus est, quam paene obrutus +esset fluctibus. + +Deinde Caesar in Epirum profectus Pompeium Pharsalico proelio fudit, et +fugientem persecutus, ut occisum cognovit, Ptolemaeo regi, Pompeii +interfectori, a quo sibi quoque insidias tendi videret, bellum intulit; +quo victo in Pontum transiit Pharnacemque, Mithridatis filium, +rebellantem et multiplici successu praeferocem intra quintum ab adventu +diem, quattuor, quibus in conspectum venit, horis una profligavit acie, +more fulminis, quod uno eodemque momento venit, percussit, abscessit. +Nec vana de se praedicatio est Caesaris ante victum hostem esse quam +visum. Pontico postea triumpho trium verborum praetulit titulum: “Veni, +vidi, vici.” Deinde Scipionem et Iubam, Numidiae regem, reliquias +Pompeianarum partium in Africa refoventes, devicit. + +Victorem Africani belli Gaium Caesarem gravius excepit Hispaniense, quod +Cn. Pompeius, Magni filius, adulescens fortissimus, ingens ac terribile +conflaverat, undique ad eum auxiliis paterni nominis magnitudinem +sequentium ex toto orbe confluentibus. Sua Caesarem in Hispaniam +comitata fortuna est: sed nullum umquam atrocius periculosiusque ab eo +initum proelium, adeo ut, plus quam dubio Marte, descenderet equo +consistensque ante recedentem suorum aciem increpans fortunam, quod se +in eum servasset exitum, denuntiaret militibus vestigio se non +recessurum; proinde viderent, quem et quo loco imperatorem deserturi +essent. Verecundia magis quam virtute acies restituta est. Cn. Pompeius +victus et interemptus est. Caesar, omnium victor, regressus in urbem +omnibus, qui contra se arma tulerant, ignovit et quinquies triumphavit. + +Bellis civilibus confectis, conversus iam ad ordinandum rei publicae +statum fastos correxit annumque ad cursum solis accommodavit, ut +trecentorum sexaginta quinque dierum esset et, intercalario mense +sublato, unus dies quarto quoque anno intercalaretur. Ius laboriosissime +ac severissime dixit. Repetundarum convictos etiam ordine senatorio +movit. Peregrinarum mercium portoria instituit: legem praecipue +sumptuariam exercuit. De ornanda instruendaque urbe, item de tuendo +ampliandoque imperio plura ac maiora in dies destinabat: imprimis ius +civile ad certum modum redigere atque ex immensa legum copia optima +quaeque et necessaria in paucissimos conferre libros; bibliothecas +Graecas et Latinas, quas maximas posset, publicare; siccare Pomptinas +paludes: viam munire a Mari Supero per Apennini dorsum ad Tiberim usque: +Dacos, qui se in Pontum effuderant, coercere: mox Parthis bellum inferre +per Armeniam. + +Haec et alia agentem et meditantem mors praevenit. Dictator enim in +perpetuum creatus agere insolentius coepit: senatum ad se venientem +sedens excepit et quendam, ut adsurgeret monentem, irato vultu respexit. +Cum Antonius, Caesaris in omnibus bellis comes et tunc consulatus +conlega, capiti eius in sella aurea sedentis pro rostris diadema, +insigne regium, imposuisset, id ita ab eo est repulsum, ut non offensus +videretur. Quare coniuratum in eum est a sexaginta amplius viris, Cassio +et Bruto ducibus conspirationis, decretumque eum Idibus Martiis in +senatu confodere. + +Plurima indicia futuri periculi obtulerant dii immortales. Uxor +Calpurnia, territa nocturno visu, ut Idibus Martiis domi subsisteret +orabat et Spurinna haruspex praedixerat ut proximos dies triginta quasi +fatales caveret, quorum ultimus erat Idus Martiae. Hoc igitur die Caesar +Spurinnae “Ecquid scis” inquit “Idus Martias iam venisse?” et is “Ecquid +scis illas nondum praeterisse?” Atque cum Caesar eo die in senatum +venisset, adsidentem conspirati specie officii circumsteterunt ilicoque +unus, quasi aliquid rogaturus, propius accessit renuentique ab utroque +umero togam apprehendit. Deinde clamantem “Ista quidem vis est!” Casca, +unus e coniuratis, adversum vulnerat paulum infra iugulum. Caesar Cascae +bracchium adreptum graphio traiecit conatusque prosilire alio vulnere +tardatus est. Dein ut animadvertit undique se strictis pugionibus peti, +toga caput obvolvit et ita tribus et viginti plagis confossus est. Cum +Marcum Brutum, quem filii loco habebat in se inruentem vidisset, dixisse +fertur: “Tu quoque, mi fili!” + +Illud inter omnes fere constitit talem ei mortem paene ex sententia +obtigisse. Nam et quondam cum apud Xenophontem legisset Cyrum ultima +valetudine mandasse quaedam de funere suo, aspernatus tam lentum mortis +genus subitam sibi celeremque optaverat, et pridie quam occideretur, in +sermone nato super cenam quisnam esset finis vitae commodissimus, +repentinum inopinatumque praetulerat. Percussorum autem neque triennio +quisquam amplius supervixit neque sua morte defunctus est. Damnati omnes +alius alio casu perierunt, pars naufragio, pars proelio; nonnulli semet +eodem illo pugione, quo Caesarem violaverant, interemerunt. + +Quo rarior in regibus et principibus viris moderatio, hoc laudanda magis +est. C. Iulius Caesar victoria civili clementissime usus est; cum enim +scrinia deprehendisset epistularum ad Pompeium missarum ab iis, qui +videbantur aut in diversis aut in neutris fuisse partibus, legere +noluit, sed combussit, ne forte in multos gravius consulendi locum +darent. Cicero hanc laudem eximiam Caesari tribuit, quod nihil oblivisci +soleret nisi iniurias. Simultates omnes, occasione oblata, libens +deposuit. Ultro ac prior scripsit C. Calvo post famosa eius adversum se +epigrammata. Valerium Catullum, cuius versiculis famam suam laceratam +non ignorabat, adhibuit cenae. C. Memmii suffragator in petitione +consulatus fuit, etsi asperrimas fuisse eius in se orationes sciebat. + +Fuisse traditur excelsa statura, ore paulo pleniore, nigris vegetisque +oculis, capite calvo; quam calvitii deformitatem, quod saepe +obtrectatorum iocis obnoxia erat, aegre ferebat. Ideo ex omnibus +decretis sibi a senatu populoque honoribus non alium aut recepit aut +usurpavit libentius quam ius laureae perpetuo gestandae. Vini +parcissimum eum fuisse ne inimici quidem negaverunt. Verbum Catonis est +unum ex omnibus Caesarem ad evertendam rem publicam sobrium accessisse. +Armorum et equitandi peritissimus, laboris ultra fidem patiens; in +agmine nonnumquam equo, saepius pedibus anteibat, capite detecto, seu +sol, seu imber erat. Longissimas vias incredibili celeritate +conficiebat, ut persaepe nuntios de se praeveniret: neque eum morabantur +flumina, quae vel nando vel innixus inflatis utribus traiciebat. + + + #XXVII.

Marcus Tullius Cicero# [[stripped text]] + +Marcus Tullius Cicero, equestri genere, Arpini, quod est Volscorum +oppidum, natus est. Ex eius avis unus verrucam in extremo naso sitam +habuit, ciceris grano similem; inde cognomen Ciceronis genti inditum. +Suadentibus quibusdam ut id nomen mutaret, “Dabo operam” inquit “ut +istud cognomen nobilissimorum nominum splendorem vincat.” Cum a patre +Romam missus, ubi celeberrimorum magistrorum scholis interesset, eas +artes disceret, quibus aetas puerilis ad humanitatem solet informari, +tanto successu tantaque cum praeceptorum tum ceterorum discipulorum +admiratione id fecit, ut, cum fama de Ciceronis ingenio et doctrina ad +alios manasset, non pauci, qui eius videndi et audiendi gratia scholas +adirent, reperti esse dicantur. + +Cum nulla re magis ad summos in re publica honores viam muniri posse +intellegeret quam arte dicendi et eloquentia, toto animo in eius studium +incubuit, in quo quidem ita versatus est, ut non solum eos, qui in Foro +et iudiciis causas perorarent, studiose sectaretur, sed privatim quoque +diligentissime se exerceret. Primum eloquentiam et libertatem adversus +Sullanos ostendit. Nam cum Roscium quendam, parricidii accusatum, ob +Chrysogoni, Sullae liberti, qui in eius adversariis erat, potentiam nemo +defendere auderet, tanta eloquentiae vi eum defendit Cicero, ut iam tum +in arte dicendi nullus ei par esse videretur. Ex quo invidiam veritus +Athenas studiorum gratia petiit, ubi Antiochum philosophum studiose +audivit. Inde eloquentiae causa Rhodum se contulit, ubi Molonem, Graecum +rhetorem tum disertissimum, magistrum habuit. Qui cum Ciceronem dicentem +audivisset, flevisse dicitur, quod per hunc Graecia eloquentiae laude +privaretur. + +Romam reversus quaestor Siciliam habuit. Nullius vero quaestura aut +gratior aut clarior fuit; cum magna tum esset annonae difficultas, +initio molestus erat Siculis, quos cogeret frumenta in urbem mittere; +postea vero, diligentiam et iustitiam et comitatem eius experti, maiores +quaestori suo honores quam ulli umquam praetori detulerunt. E Sicilia +reversus Romam in causis dicendis ita floruit, ut inter omnes causarum +patronos et esset et haberetur princeps. + +Consul deinde factus L. Sergii Catilinae coniurationem singulari +virtute, constantia, cura compressit. Catilinae proavum, M. Sergium, +incredibili fortitudine fuisse Plinius refert. Stipendia is fecit +secundo bello Punico. Secundo stipendio dextram manum perdidit: +stipendiis duobus ter et vicies vulneratus est: ob id neutra manu, +neutro pede satis utilis, plurimisque postea stipendiis debilis miles +erat. Bis ab Hannibale captus, bis vinculorum eius profugus, viginti +mensibus nullo non die in catenis aut compedibus custoditus. Sinistra +manu sola quater pugnavit, duobus equis, insidente eo, suffossis. +Dextram sibi ferream fecit eaque religata proeliatus Cremonam obsidione +exemit, Placentiam tutatus est, duodena castra hostium in Gallia cepit. +Ceteri profecto, Plinius addit, victores hominum fuere, Sergius vicit +etiam fortunam. + +Singularem huius viri gloriam foede dehonestavit pronepotis scelus. Hic +enim rei familiaris, quam profuderat, inopia multorumque scelerum +conscientia in furorem actus et dominandi cupiditate incensus +indignatusque, quod in petitione consulatus repulsam passus esset, +coniuratione facta senatum confodere, consules trucidare, urbem +incendere, diripere aerarium constituerat. Actum erat de pulcherrimo +imperio, nisi illa coniuratio in Ciceronem et Antonium consules +incidisset, quorum alter industria rem patefecit, alter manu oppressit. +Cum Cicero, habito senatu, in praesentem reum perorasset, Catilina, +incendium suum ruina se restincturum esse minitans, Roma profugit et ad +exercitum, quem paraverat, proficiscitur, signa inlaturus urbi. Sed +socii eius, qui in urbe remanserant, comprehensi in carcere necati sunt. +A. Fulvius, vir senatorii ordinis, filium, iuvenem et ingenio et forma +inter aequales nitentem, pravo consilio Catilinae amicitiam secutum +inque castra eius ruentem, ex medio itinere retractum supplicio mortis +adfecit, praefatus non se Catilinae illum adversus patriam, sed patriae +adversus Catilinam genuisse. + +Neque eo magis ab incepto Catilina destitit, sed infestis signis Romam +petens Antonii exercitu opprimitur. Quam atrociter dimicatum sit exitus +docuit: nemo hostium bello superfuit; quem quisque in pugnando ceperat +locum, eum amissa anima tegebat. Catilina longe a suis inter hostium +cadavera repertus est: pulcherrima morte, si pro patria sic concidisset! +Senatus populusque Romanus Ciceronem patrem patriae appellavit. Cicero +ipse in oratione pro Sulla palam praedicat consilium patriae servandae +fuisse iniectum sibi a diis, cum Catilina coniurasset adversus eam. +“O dii immortales,” inquit “vos profecto incendistis tum animum meum +cupiditate conservandae patriae. Vos avocastis me a cogitationibus +omnibus ceteris et convertistis ad salutem unam patriae. Vos denique +praetulistis menti meae clarissimum lumen in tenebris tantis erroris et +inscientiae. Tribuam enim vobis, quae sunt vestra. Nec vero possum +tantum dare ingenio meo, ut dispexerim sponte mea in tempestate illa +turbulentissima rei publicae, quid esset optimum factu.” + +Paucis post annis Ciceroni diem dixit Clodius tribunus plebis, quod +cives Romanos indicta causa necavisset. Senatus maestus, tamquam in +publico luctu, veste mutata pro eo deprecabatur. Cicero, cum posset +armis salutem suam defendere, maluit urbe cedere quam sua causa caedem +fieri. Proficiscentem omnes boni flentes prosecuti sunt. Dein Clodius +edictum proposuit ut Marco Tullio igni et aqua interdiceretur: illius +domum et villas incendit. Sed vis illa non diuturna fuit, mox enim totus +fere populus Romanus ingenti desiderio Ciceronis reditum flagitare +coepit et maximo omnium ordinum studio Cicero in patriam revocatus est. +Nihil per totam vitam Ciceroni itinere, quo in patriam rediit, accidit +iucundius. Obviam ei redeunti ab universis itum est: domus eius publica +pecunia restituta est. + +Gravissimae illa tempestate inter Caesarem et Pompeium ortae sunt +inimicitiae, ut res nisi bello dirimi non posse videretur. Cicero quidem +summo studio enitebatur ut eos inter se reconciliaret et a belli civilis +calamitatibus deterreret, sed cum neutrum ad pacem ineundam permovere +posset, Pompeium secutus est. Sed victo Pompeio, a Caesare victore +veniam ultro accepit. Quo interfecto Octavianum, Caesaris heredem, +fovit, Antonium impugnavit effecitque ut a senatu hostis iudicaretur. + +Sed Antonius, inita cum Octaviano societate, Ciceronem iam diu sibi +inimicum proscripsit. Qua re audita, Cicero transversis itineribus in +villam, quae a mari proxime aberat, fugit indeque navem conscendit, in +Macedoniam transiturus. Unde aliquotiens in altum provectum cum modo +venti adversi rettulissent, modo ipse iactationem maris pati non posset, +taedium tandem eum et fugae et vitae cepit regressusque ad villam +“Moriar” inquit “in patria saepe servata.” Satis constat, adventantibus +percussoribus, servos fortiter fideliterque paratos fuisse ad +dimicandum, ipsum deponi lecticam et quietos pati, quod sors iniqua +cogeret, iussisse. Prominenti ex lectica et immotam cervicem praebenti +caput praecisum est. Manus quoque abscissae; caput relatum est ad +Antonium eiusque iussu cum dextra manu in rostris positum. + +Quamdiu res publica Romana per eos gerebatur, quibus se ipsa commiserat, +in eam curas cogitationesque fere omnes suas conferebat Cicero et plus +operae ponebat in agendo quam in scribendo. Cum autem dominatu unius +C. Iulii Caesaris omnia tenerentur, non se angoribus dedidit nec +indignis homine docto voluptatibus. Fugiens conspectum Fori urbisque +rura peragrabat abdebatque se, quantum licebat, et solus erat. Nihil +agere autem cum animus non posset, existimavit honestissime molestias +posse deponi, si se ad philosophiam rettulisset, cui adulescens multum +temporis tribuerat, et omne studium curamque convertit ad scribendum: +atque ut civibus etiam otiosus aliquid prodesse posset, elaboravit ut +doctiores fierent et sapientiores, pluraque brevi tempore, eversa re +publica, scripsit, quam multis annis ea stante scripserat. Sic facundiae +et Latinarum litterarum parens evasit paruitque virorum sapientium +praecepto, qui docent non solum ex malis eligere minima oportere, sed +etiam excerpere ex his ipsis, si quid insit boni. + +Multa exstant facete ab eo dicta. Cum Lentulum, generum suum, exiguae +staturae hominem, vidisset longo gladio accinctum, “Quis” inquit +“generum meum ad gladium adligavit?”--Matrona quaedam iuniorem se, quam +erat, simulans dictitabat se triginta tantum annos habere; cui Cicero +“Verum est,” inquit “nam hoc viginti annos audio.”--Caesar, altero +consule mortuo die Decembris ultima, Caninium consulem hora septima in +reliquam diei partem renuntiaverat; quem cum plerique irent salutatum de +more, “Festinemus” inquit Cicero “priusquam abeat magistratu.” De eodem +Caninio scripsit Cicero: “Fuit mirifica vigilantia Caninius, qui toto +suo consulatu somnum non viderit.” + + + #XXVIII.

Octavianus Caesar Augustus# [[stripped text]] + +Octavianus, Iuliae, Gai Caesaris sororis, nepos, quartum annum agens +patrem amisit. Ab avunculo adoptatus profectum eum in Hispanias adversus +Gnaei Pompei liberos secutus est. Deinde ab eo Apolloniam missus studiis +vacavit. Utque primum occisum Caesarem heredemque se comperit, in urbem +regressus hereditatem adiit, nomen Caesaris sumpsit conlectoque +veteranorum exercitu opem Decimo Bruto tulit, qui ab Antonio Mutinae +obsidebatur. Cum autem urbis aditu prohiberetur, ut Brutum de omnibus +rebus certiorem faceret, primo litteras misit plumbeis laminis +inscriptas, quas ad bracchium religatas urinatores Scultennam amnem +transnantes ad Brutum deferebant. Quin et avibus internuntiis utebatur. +Columbis enim, quas inclusas ante fame adfecerat, epistulas ad collum +religabat easque a proximo moenibus loco emittebat. Illae, lucis cibique +avidae, altissima aedificiorum petentes excipiebantur a Decimo Bruto, +qui eo modo de omnibus rebus certior fiebat, utique postquam disposito +quibusdam locis cibo columbas illuc devolare instituerat. + +Bellum Mutinense Octavianus duobus proeliis confecit, quorum in altero +non ducis modo, sed militis etiam functus est officio atque in media +dimicatione, aquilifero legionis suae graviter saucio, aquilam umeris +subisse diuque fertur portasse. Postea reconciliata cum Antonio +gratiaiunctisque cum eo copiis, ut Gai Caesaris necem ulcisceretur, ad +urbem hostiliter accessit misitque qui nomine exercitus sibi consulatum +deposcerent. Cunctante senatu centurio, princeps legationis, reiecto +sagulo, ostendens gladii capulum non dubitavit in Curia dicere: “Hic +faciet, si vos non feceritis.” + +Ita cum Octavianus vicesimo aetatis anno consulatum invasisset, pacem +fecit cum Antonio et Lepido, ita ut triumviri rei publicae constituendae +per quinquennium essent ipse et Lepidus et Antonius, et ut suos quisque +inimicos proscriberent. Quae proscriptio Sullana longe crudelior fuit. +Exstant autem ex ea multa vel extremae impietatis vel mirae fidei ac +constantiae exempla. T. Toranius, triumvirorum partes secutus, +proscripti patris sui, praetorii et ornati viri, latebras, aetatem +notasque corporis, quibus agnosci posset, centurionibus edidit, qui eum +persecuti sunt. Alius quidam cum proscriptum se cognovisset, ad clientem +suum confugit; sed filius eius per ipsa vestigia patris militibus ductis +occidendum eum in conspectu suo obiecit. + +Cum C. Plotius Plancus a triumviris proscriptus in regione Salernitana +lateret, servi eius, comprehensi multumque ac diu torti, negabant se +scire ubi dominus esset. Non sustinuit deinde Plancus tam fideles tamque +boni exempli servos ulterius cruciari; sed processit in medium +iugulumque gladiis militum obiecit. Senatoris cuiusdam servus cum ad +dominum proscriptum occidendum milites advenisse cognosset, commutata +cum eo veste, permutato etiam anulo, illum postico clam emisit, se autem +in cubiculum ad lectulum recepit et ut dominum occidi passus est. +“Quanti viri est” addit Seneca, “cum praemia proditionis ingentia +ostendantur, praemium fidei mortem concupiscere!” + +Octavianus deinde M. Brutum, interfectorem Caesaris, bello persecutus id +bellum, quamquam invalidus atque aeger, duplici proelio transegit; +quorum priore castris exutus vix fuga evasit. Victor acerbissime se +gessit: in nobilissimum quemque captivum non sine verborum contumelia +saeviit. Uni suppliciter sepulturam precanti respondisse dicitur iam +istam in volucrum fore potestate. Alios, patrem et filium, pro vita +rogantes sortiri fertur iussisse ut alterutri concederetur, ac cum, +patre quia se obtulerat occiso, filius quoque voluntaria occubuisset +nece, spectasse utrumque morientem. Orare veniam vel excusare se +conantibus, una voce occurrebat moriendum esse. Scribunt quidam +trecentos ex dediticiis electos ad aram divo Iulio exstructam Idibus +Martiis hostiarum more mactatos. + +Abalienatus postea est ab Antonio, quod is, repudiata Octavia sorore, +Cleopatram, Aegypti reginam, duxisset uxorem: quae quidem mulier cum +Antonio luxu et deliciis certabat. Una se cena centies sestertium +absumpturam aliquando dixerat. Cupiebat discere Antonius, sed fieri +posse non arbitrabatur. Postero igitur die magnificam alias cenam, sed +cottidianam Antonio apposuit inridenti, quod promisso stare non +potuisset. At illa inferri mensam secundam iussit. Ex praecepto ministri +unum tantum vas ante eam posuere aceti, cuius asperitas visque +margaritas resolvit. Exspectante igitur Antonio quidnam esset actura, +margaritam, quam auribus gerebat, detraxit et aceto liquefactam +absorbuit. Victum Antonium omnes, qui aderant, pronuntiaverunt. + +Octavianus cum Antonio apud Actium, qui locus est in Epiro, navali +proelio dimicavit. Victum et fugientem persecutus Aegyptum petiit, et +Alexandream, quo Antonius cum Cleopatra confugerat, obsedit. Antonius in +ultima rerum desperatione, cum habitu regis in solio regali sedisset, +mortem sibi ipse conscivit. Cleopatra, quam Octavianus, Alexandrea in +potestatem redacta, magno opere cupiebat vivam comprehendi triumphoque +servari, aspidem sibi adferendam curavit eiusque morsu periit. +Cleopatrae mortuae communem cum Antonio sepulturam tribuit. + +Tandem Octavianus, hostibus victis solus imperio potitus, clementem se +exhibuit. Omnia deinceps in eo plena mansuetudinis et humanitatis. +Multis ignovit vel iis qui saepe graviter eum offenderant. Reversus in +Italiam triumphans Romam ingressus est. Tum bellis toto orbe compositis +Iani gemini portas sua manu clausit, quae bis tantum antea clausae +fuerant, primum sub Numa rege, iterum post primum Punicum bellum. Tunc +omnes praeteritorum malorum oblivio cepit populusque Romanus praesentis +otii laetitia perfruebatur. Octaviano maximi honores a senatu delati +sunt. Ipse Augustus cognominatus et in honorem eius mensis Sextilis +eodem nomine appellatus est, quod illo mense bellis civilibus finis +esset impositus. Patris patriae cognomen universi maximo consensu +detulerunt ei. Deferentibus lacrimans respondit Augustus his verbis: +“Compos factus votorum meorum, patres conscripti, quid habeo aliud, quod +deos immortales precer, quam ut hunc consensum vestrum ad ultimum vitae +finem mihi perferre liceat!” + +Dictaturam magna vi offerente populo deprecatus est. Domini +appellationem semper exhorruit eamque sibi tribui edicto vetuit. Immo de +restituenda re publica non semel cogitavit, sed reputans et se privatum +non sine periculo fore, et rem publicam plurium arbitrio commissum iri, +summam retinuit potestatem, id vero studuit ne quem novi status +paeniteret. Bene de iis etiam, quos adversarios expertus erat, et +sentiebat et loquebatur. Legentem aliquando unum e nepotibus invenit; +cumque puer territus volumen Ciceronis, quod manu tenebat, veste +tegeret, Augustus librum cepit eoque statim reddito, “Hic vir,” inquit +“fili mi, doctus fuit et patriae amans.” + +Pedibus saepe per urbem incedebat summaque comitate adeuntes excipiebat. +Convenit aliquando eum veteranus miles, qui vocatus in ius +periclitabatur rogavitque ut sibi adesset. Statim Augustus unum e +comitatu suo elegit advocatum, qui litigatorem commendaret. Tum +veteranus exclamavit: “At non ego, te periclitante bello Actiaco, +vicarium quaesivi, sed ipse pro te pugnavi,” simulque detexit +cicatrices. Erubuit Augustus atque ipse venit in advocationem. + +Cum post Actiacam victoriam Octavianus Romam reverteretur, occurrit ei +inter gratulantes opifex quidam corvum tenens, quem instituerat haec +dicere: “Ave, Caesar, victor, imperator!” Miratus Caesar officiosam avem +viginti milibus nummorum emit. Socius opificis, ad quem nihil ex illa +liberalitate pervenerat, adfirmavit Caesari habere illum et alium +corvum, quem ut adferre cogeretur rogavit. Adlatus verba, quae +didicerat, expressit: “Ave, Antoni, victor, imperator!” Nihil +exasperatus Caesar satis duxit iubere illum dividere donativum cum +contubernali. Salutatus similiter a psittaco emi eum iussit. + +Exemplum sutorem pauperem sollicitavit ut corvum institueret ad parem +salutationem. Qui impendio exhaustus saepe ad avem non respondentem +dicere solebat “Opera et impensa periit!” Aliquando tamen corvus coepit +dicere dictam salutationem. Hac audita, dum transit, Augustus respondit: +“Satis domi talium salutatorum habeo.” Superfuit corvo memoria, ut et +illa, quibus dominum querentem solebat audire, subtexeret: “Opera et +impensa periit.” Ad quod Caesar risit emique avem iussit, quanti nullam +ante emerat. + +Solebat Graeculus quidam descendenti e palatio Caesari honorificum +aliquod epigramma porrigere. Id cum frustra saepe fecisset et tamen +rursus eum idem facturum duxisset Augustus, breve sua manu in charta +exaravit Graecum epigramma et Graeculo advenienti obviam misit. Ille +inter legendum laudare mirarique tam voce quam vultu gestuque. Deinde +cum accessisset ad sellam, qua Caesar vehebatur, demissa in pauperem +crumenam manu paucos denarios protulit, quos principi daret, dixitque se +plus daturum fuisse, si plus habuisset. Secuto omnium risu, +dispensatorem Caesar vocavit et satis grandem pecuniae summam numerari +Graeculo iussit. + +Augustus fere nulli se invitanti negabat. Exceptus igitur a quodam cena +satis parca et paene cottidiana, hoc tantum insusurravit: “Non putabam +me tibi esse tam familiarem.” Cum aliquando apud Pollionem quendam +cenaret fregissetque unus e servis vas crystallinum, rapi eum ad mortem +Pollio iussit et obici muraenis quas ingens piscina continebat. Evasit e +manibus puer et ad pedes Caesaris confugit, nihil aliud petiturus quam +ut aliter periret nec esca piscium fieret. Motus est novo crudelitatis +genere Caesar et illum quidem mitti, crystallina autem omnia coram se +frangi iussit complerique piscinam. + +Augustus in quadam villa aegrotans noctes inquietas agebat, rumpente +somnum eius crebro noctuae cantu. Qua molestia cum liberari se +vehementer cupere significasset, miles quidam, aucupii peritus, noctuam +prehendendam curavit, vivamque Augusto attulit, spe ingentis praemii. +Cui cum Augustus mille nummos dari iussisset, ille minus dignum praemium +existimans dicere ausus est: “Malo ut vivat,” et avem dimisit. +Imperatori nec ad irascendum causa deerat nec ad ulciscendum potestas: +hanc tamen iniuriam aequo animo tulit Augustus hominemque impunitum +abire passus est. + +Augustus amicitias neque facile admisit et constantissime retinuit. +Imprimis familiarem habuit Maecenatem, equitem Romanum; qui ea, qua apud +principem valebat, gratia ita semper usus est, ut prodesset omnibus, +quibus posset, noceret nemini. Ius aliquando dicebat Augustus et multos +capite damnaturus videbatur. Aderat tum Maecenas, qui per circumstantium +turbam perrumpere et ad tribunal propius accedere conabatur. Quod cum +frustra tentasset, haec verba in tabella scripsit: “Surge tandem, +carnifex!” eamque tabellam ad Augustum proiecit. Qua lecta is statim +surrexit neque quisquam est morte multatus. + +Habitavit Augustus in aedibus modicis, neque laxitate neque cultu +conspicuis, ac per annos amplius quadraginta in eodem cubiculo hieme et +aestate mansit. Suppellex quoque eius vix privatae elegantiae erat. Raro +veste alia usus est quam confecta ab uxore, sorore, filia neptibusque. +Item tamen Romam, quam pro maiestate imperii non satis ornatam +invenerat, adeo excoluit, ut iure gloriaretur marmoream se relinquere, +quam latericiam accepisset. + +Forma fuit Augustus eximia et per omnes aetatis gradus venustissima. +Erat tamen omnis lenocinii neglegens et in capite comendo tam +incuriosus, ut eo ipso tempore, quo illud tonsoribus committeret, aut +legeret aliquid aut etiam scriberet. + +Paucis annis antequam moreretur, gravissimam in Germania accepit cladem, +tribus legionibus cum duce Varo legatisque et auxiliis omnibus caesis. +Hac nuntiata excubias per urbem indixit, ne quis tumultus exsisteret, et +magnos ludos Iovi optimo maximo vovit, si res publica in meliorem statum +vertisset.

He +did not doubt that in this way he would secure for the Romans the favor +of the Spanish [conciliate the Spanish to the Romans]. 10. Among the +captive Africans he found a boy of remarkable beauty,[4] who said that +his grandfather was the king of Numidia, and that he had crossed over +into Spain with his uncle Masinissa to carry on war with the Romans. 11. +Scipio freed the boy, and thus won the favor of the Numidian king. 12. +When the Spaniards wanted to call Scipio king, he asked them to refrain +from that title. 13. After Hannibal had been driven from Spain, Scipio, +who had[5] long been planning to transfer the war to Africa, sent +Laelius, whose[6] friendship he did not mistrust, to win over some of +the African chiefs. 14. Afterwards he crossed over to Africa himself, +and it is said that he met Hannibal [to him a meeting with Hannibal to +have been] at the court of Syphax. 15. It happened that many of those +chiefs were eager to form an alliance with Scipio. 16. His plan, +therefore, was easily carried out. 17.

The old +writers say that he used to visit [resort to] the capitol every day, to +consult with Jupiter about the public interests. 26. At Ephesus he[9] +afterwards had a conversation with Hannibal. 27. It is reported that +Hannibal acknowledged that Scipio was the greatest of all commanders. +28. When the senate seemed on the point[10] of transferring the conduct +of the war against Antiochus from Lucius Scipio to Laelius, because +(as was thought) the former[11] had too little courage and too little +wisdom for such a war, Africanus promised to be himself his brother’s +lieutenant. 29. Scipio could endure no dishonor to his family. 30. After +Antiochus had been defeated, when the senate demanded from Lucius Scipio +an accounting of the spoils, Africanus prevented it. 31. He said that he +had been of [for] so great aid to his country that his integrity ought +not to be doubted. 32. It happened that Africanus himself was afterwards +summoned for trial by the tribunes on the very day on which the battle +of Zama had been fought.[12] 33. When ordered to plead his cause, he +mounted the rostrum and said: “Let us offer thanks to Jupiter, by whose +aid we obtained[13] so great a victory.” 34. As the whole assembly +followed him he was relieved from the insults of the tribunes. 35.

Marius threatened them[5] with the same +fate[5] which had befallen their brothers. 14. On the next day a battle +was fought, and slaughter terrible to witness[6] followed. 15. When the +women saw that they were defeated they strangled their babes and killed +themselves. 16. Marius envied the new consul, Sulla, because the war +against Mithridates had been assigned him. 17. When Sulla heard what +Marius had done, he returned to Rome with his army and drove him into +exile. 18. While Marius was hiding in a swamp, he was caught and thrown +into prison. 19. He asked the slave, who was sent to kill him, whether +he dared kill the great consul. 20. After Sulla had set out for Asia, +Marius, who was a few days’ journey from the city, returned and renewed +the civil war. 21. When he had put to death the best men of the state, +he gave over their homes to the rabble for plunder. 22. His death +afforded the Romans[7] more joy than his victory at Aquae Sextiae. + + [Footnotes: + 1: See p. 40, n. 1. + 2: Cf. #ut trāderet#, l. 21. + 3: Dat.

A woman told Sulla (when he was) a child that he would be a blessing +to his country. 2. Was this the same woman who sold the Sibylline books +to King Tarquin? 3. Marius was vexed because Sulla had been chosen +quaestor. 4. Although Sulla had been dissolute, his military ability was +soon displayed. 5. He conquered Mithridates, the king of Pontus, and +would have completely subdued him had he not been recalled to Italy. 6. +When he had returned, with the greatest cruelty he punished with death +all who had supported Marius. 7. There was one young man who ventured to +advise him to spare some of his fellow-citizens. 8. If he had killed +all, there would have been none to govern [whom he should govern]. 9. He +wanted to kill not only his enemies, but also all who had money. 10. +When he at last laid down the dictatorship, the people were so crushed +that they did not dare to complain. 11. Sulla was fond of literary men +and was well versed in Greek literature. 12. He once gave a reward to a +wretched poet who had dedicated a poem to him, on condition that he +should write nothing thereafter. + + +XXV. + +#Genitive with adjectives.# + +1. Lucullus was distinguished both in war and in peace. 2. It is stated +by certain writers that he spent all of his early life in law practice +and was untrained in the art[1] of war. 3. But in the war with +Mithridates he surpassed even[2] experts in this art.[1] 4. All say that +he was exceedingly fond of money. 5. And this is the more surprising for +the reason that he had been educated in Greek philosophy. 6. He was not +the only one of the Romans to[3] squander his money in building villas. +7. He used to dine with the greatest luxury even when he was alone. 8. +Though fond of banquets, he was no less fond of books, and had a great +library, which was always open to the public. + + [Footnotes: + 1: H. 451, 1 (399, I, 2); M. 573; A. 218, _a_; G. 374; B. 204, 1. + 2: Cf. #mare ipsum#, l. 25. + 3: See p. 76, n. 11.] + + + + +ABBREVIATIONS + + + abl. = ablative. + abs. = absolute. + acc. = accusative. + act. = active. + adj. = adjective. + adv. = adverb. + cf. = compare. + comp. = comparative. + conj. = conjunction. + dat. = dative. + def. = defective. + dem. = demonstrative. + desid. = desiderative. + dim. = diminutive. + disc. = discourse. + e.g. = for example. + encl. = enclitic. + esp. = especially. + f. = feminine, following. + freq. = frequentative. + gen. = genitive. + i.e. = that is. + imperf. = imperfect. + impers. = impersonal. + indef. = indefinite. + indir. = indirect. + insep. = inseparable. + interj. = interjection. + interr. = interrogative. + intrans. = intransitive. + l. = line. + m. = masculine. + n. = neuter, note. + nom. = nominative. + num. = numeral. + obj. = objective. + orig. = originally. + p. = page. + part. = participle, partitive. + pass. = passive. + perf. = perfect. + pers. = personal. + pl. = plural. + poss. = possessive. + prep. = preposition. + pres. = present. + pron. = pronoun, pronominal. + rel. = relative. + sc. = supply. + sup. = superlative. + trans. = transitive. + +The star prefixed to certain verbs, e.g. #flīgō# and #speciō#, indicates +that the verb was obsolete, i.e. not in ordinary use.

The peculiar qualities of +simplicity, clearness, and adaptation of treatment to the practical +needs of the student and of the class room,--qualities that have always +characterized the Harkness Grammars,--have been preserved and even +intensified in these new books. + +The Complete Latin Grammar is designed at once as a text-book for the +class room and a book of reference for the student. It aims not only to +present systematically for the benefit of the beginner the leading facts +and laws of the Latin language, but also to provide accurately for the +needs of the advanced student. + +The Short Latin Grammar is published for the benefit of those who prefer +to begin with a more elementary manual, or those who do not contemplate +a collegiate course. In the preparation of this work the convenience and +interest of the student have been carefully consulted. The paradigms, +rules, and discussions have in general been introduced in the exact form +and language of the Complete Latin Grammar by which it may at any time +be supplemented. The numbering of the sections in the two books is also +alike. + + +_Copies of the books will be sent, prepaid, to any address on receipt of +the price by the Publishers_: + + =American Book Company= + =New York · Cincinnati · Chicago= + + + + +LATIN PROSE WRITING + + =With Full Introductory Notes On Idiom= + + By MAURICE W. MATHER, Ph.D. + Formerly Instructor in Latin in Harvard University + + and ARTHUR L. WHEELER, Ph.D. + Instructor in Latin in Yale University + + =Half Leather, 12mo, 216 pages Price $1.00= + + +The present book furnishes all the essential material for the writing of +average passages in Latin Prose. It is not intended to teach how to +write isolated sentences, illustrative of given constructions, but the +book assumes that the pupil, after a year or more of such practice, is +ready to learn the art of writing connected narrative in Latin. The +authors have based their exercises on Caesar’s Gallic War Books III and +IV, Nepos’s Alcibiades and Hannibal, and Cicero’s Manilian Law and +Archias, inasmuch as these are not only models of good style, but are +usually read in schools. As the book is not for beginners, the +individual exercises have not been made vehicles for teaching any one or +two constructions, but the authors have felt at liberty to introduce at +any time even the more difficult constructions; indirect discourse, for +instance, being taken up at the very beginning. + +While, in general, the vocabulary and the constructions for any exercise +are supplied in the Latin text on which the given exercise is based, yet +enough variation from the language of the model is required to give the +pupil abundant practice in handling forms and constructions. By this +means the pupil’s power of observation is increased, his interest is +quickened by the pleasure of discovery, and he will remember the word +much better than if he found it ready at hand in a dictionary. + +A number of recent examination papers from various colleges have been +inserted in the belief that they will be found useful for sight tests +and occasional examinations. The notes accompanying some of the papers +belong to the original examinations. At the end of the book are indexes +of words and constructions, and of English words and phrases with +references to sections of the Notes on Idiom in Part I. + + +_Copies sent, prepaid, to any address on receipt of the price._ + + =American Book Company= + =New York · Cincinnati · Chicago= + + + + +PEARSON’S ESSENTIALS OF LATIN FOR BEGINNERS + + BY + HENRY C. PEARSON + Horace Mann School, Teachers’ College, Columbia University + + Cloth, 12mo, 320 Pages + Price, 90 Cents + + +This book is designed to prepare pupils in a thorough fashion to read +Caesar’s Gallic War. It contains seventy lessons, including ten that are +devoted exclusively to reading, and six supplementary lessons. The first +seventy lessons contain the minimum of what a pupil should know before +he is ready to read Latin with any degree of intelligence and +satisfaction. The supplementary lessons deal largely with certain +principles of syntax that some teachers may not wish to present to their +pupils during the first year’s work. They are independent of one another +and of the rest of the book, and may therefore be taken up in any order +that the teacher wishes, or any number of them may be omitted. + +The work contains many features and pedagogical improvements which will +commend themselves to teachers of first year Latin. Various +simplifications in statement are introduced, and throughout the greatest +care has been taken to preserve scientific accuracy while enunciating +principles in the simplest forms. + + + + + AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY + NEW YORK · CINCINNATI · CHICAGO + + + + +_Revised Edition_ + +VIRGIL’S AENEID + + With an Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary by #HENRY S.

Such +changes and alterations have been introduced as are necessary to make +the book conform to modern demands, and many important additions have +also been made. + +#The Introduction# has been enlarged by the addition of sections on the +life and writings of Virgil, the plan of the Aeneid, the meter, +manuscripts, editions, and helpful books of reference. + +#The Text# has been corrected to conform to the readings that have +become established, and the spellings are in accord with the evidence of +inscriptions of the first century A.D. To meet the need of early +assistance in reading the verse metrically, the long vowels in the first +two books are fully indicated. + +#The Notes# have been thoroughly revised and largely added to. The old +grammar references are corrected and new ones (to Harkness’s Complete, +Lane & Morgan’s, and Bennett’s Grammars) added. The literary +appreciation of the poet is increased by parallel quotations from +English literature. The irregularities of scansion in each book are also +given with sufficient explanations. + +#The Vocabulary# has been made as simple as possible and includes only +those words occurring in the Aeneid. The parts of compound words are not +indicated separately when they appear unmodified in the compound form. +The principal parts of verbs are given which are understood to be in +actual use. + +#The Illustrations# for the most part are new and fresh, and have been +selected with great care with a view to assisting directly in the +interpretation of the text. There are also maps showing the wanderings +of Aeneas, the vicinity of Cumae, and pre-historic Rome, and a full-page +facsimile of one of the best manuscripts of Virgil, the Codex Palatinus. + + #American Book Company, Publishers# + + + + +#CICERO’S ORATIONS# + +AND SELECTIONS FROM THE LETTERS + + Edited By + + WILLIAM R.

Of these, over one hundred are photographic reproductions, +showing the forms of the letters and the arrangement of the +inscriptions.

P. 18 + + + + +PREFACE + +[Decoration] + + +Upon the reviving perception of the true scope of Latin teaching has +followed a return to some of the methods of former times, which, with +all their faults, were yet imbued with the true spirit of the Classics. +Since for many years the study of Latin lay in bondage to the spirit +which regarded the language merely as a _corpus vile_ for grammatical +dissection, and ignored the rich literature lying beyond the classical +trinity of authors, it is not surprising that it fell into disfavor as +unsuited to the requirements of the times. The revival upon which the +study has now entered is due largely to a recognition of the fact that +mental culture rather than mere mental training is its true aim, and +that, with this aim kept steadily in view, the study of Latin is not a +barren waste of time and energy, but a most potent agency in securing +that broad and sympathetic culture which must ever remain the mark of +the educated man. The results of classical study most valuable to the +character are surely not to be found in the ability, usually lost +after a few years, to recite paradigms faultlessly, to give the +principal parts of verbs, and to enumerate the various kinds of +_cum_-constructions and the subdivisions of the ablative. Of far greater +worth are the mental breadth and sympathy, the weakening of prejudice +and Philistinism, and the increased power of entering into higher forms +of enjoyment which must inevitably flow from the study of the life of a +great people as revealed in its literature and art. + +This conception of the sphere of Latin study has brought with it some +modifications of the initial steps and a return to some of the texts in +use fifty years since. In the traditional sequence of authors, and +particularly in the selection of a purely military work as the means by +which to introduce the student to the language, the entrance into the +fields of Latin literature has frequently been made so distasteful as to +destroy the desire for further exploration. More attractive paths, +however, are opening to the beginner; and of these the _Viri Romae_ +offers in a notable degree material of real interest to the young, and, +from the very outset, gives a foretaste of the contents of the +literature. + +The history of this work is of interest, as showing an early recognition +of the correctness of the standpoint to which we are now returning. It +was compiled by a Professor of the University of Paris, Charles Franois +Lhomond, who lived from 1727 to 1794, and enjoyed an enviable reputation +as a successful teacher, especially of younger pupils. His experience +taught him the need of an introductory text combining interest of story +with simplicity of style. The best proof of the excellence of his work +is the fact that it has ever since remained a favorite with teachers of +Latin. The material is taken from the works of various authors, chiefly +Livy and Eutropius, but was simplified by Lhomond in vocabulary and +construction wherever necessary to fit it to the requirements of +beginners. As its title indicates, it deals with the early stories of +Rome, so fascinating in any dress to the young, and it is therefore +eminently fitted to arouse a desire for further reading. + +The present edition has been prepared with reference to the difficulties +most likely to embarrass the young pupil at the outset of the new study. +One of the most perplexing of these difficulties is the inability to +discover in an alphabetical vocabulary the inflected forms encountered +in the text. This is met, in part at least, by giving in italics in the +footnotes the vocabulary form of verbs not easily recognizable. For a +similar reason grammatical constructions are, on their first occurrence, +explained in simple language, or their nature briefly indicated, in +order that the student may more intelligently consult the grammatical +references which follow. For purposes of comparison, and as a means of +helping the pupil to form proper habits of study and observation, +subsequent occurrences are referred to previous instances, or to the +tables of constructions on pages xvi-xxvi. + +Although the compiler of the _Viri Romae_ greatly simplified the +language of his authorities, there yet remain in the early part of the +book many constructions which the beginner is not fitted to discuss. It +is strongly recommended, therefore, that the treatment of the more +difficult and complex of these constructions be postponed to a later +period. At the outset the attention of the pupil should be centered upon +matters of primary importance and upon the simplest and most common +usages, such as the form of the sentence, the relation of its parts to +one another, the significance of terminations, and the modes of +expressing the constantly recurring relations of time, place, cause, +means, purpose, and result. Even these should be treated as simply as +possible and with constant regard to English usage. It is the experience +of many teachers that reference to a Latin grammar to explain a +construction possessed by English as well as by Latin frequently creates +a difficulty where the student, if left to his own devices, would have +experienced none. + +The notes on matters of Roman custom have been made intentionally full +with the aim of adding reality to the stories, and of inducing the +pupil, under the teacher's guidance, to discover for himself further +details. The use of other accounts, whether in ancient or modern +authors, of photographs, plates, and other graphic aids can not be too +strongly encouraged, in accordance with the dictum of Horace:-- + + Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures + Quam quae sunt oculis subiecta fidelibus. + +All vowels known to be long have been carefully marked. The text of this +edition is, in the main, that of C.Holzer (tenth edition, Stuttgart, +1889). In orthography, however, Brambach has been followed. In the +vocabulary compound verbs are given under the simple verbs as an aid to +the fuller appreciation of the methods by which they are formed and +their meanings derived. The exercises in prose composition have been +made simple in order that they may occupy their legitimate place as +subordinate and auxiliary to the development of the more important +reading power. + +The thanks of the editors are due to Mr. E. G. Warner, of the Brooklyn +Polytechnic Institute, for his hearty coperation in the work, and +particularly for the labor which he has expended upon the exercises. + + ROBERT ARROWSMITH. + CHARLES KNAPP. + +August, 1895. + + + + +CONTENTS + +[Decoration] + + PAGE + + Suggestions to the Student ix + Plan of Rome xxviii + I.

Octvinus Caesar Augustus 103 + Exercises for Translation 112 + Vocabulary 131 + + + + +SUGGESTIONS TO THE STUDENT + +[Decoration] + +To read Latin quickly and intelligently, and to enjoy the reading +properly, we must possess (1)avocabulary, _i.e._ a collection of Latin +words with whose meanings, whether used singly or in combination, we are +thoroughly familiar; (2)aknowledge of the inflectional system of the +language, _i.e._ its declensions and conjugations; (3)aknowledge of +its syntax; and (4)aknowledge of the plan upon which the Latin +sentence is constructed, or, in other words, we must be able to overcome +the difficulties arising out of the peculiar order of the words and +clauses that form a Latin sentence. + +#Vocabulary.#--Words are the material out of which sentences are +constructed. Hence it is of prime importance to know their meanings. The +best way, in fact the only way, to acquire a vocabulary, is by constant +reading, and by noting carefully the force of individual words as they +occur. It soon becomes evident that certain words are very frequently +used, especially verbs which denote actions that have to do with +everyday life, such as _dc_, _e_, _faci_, _habe_, _veni_, _sum_, +and their compounds. These at least must be mastered at the very outset. +It is worth while to notice what prefixes are used in forming compound +verbs, and the modifications of meaning which they produce. If the force +of the simple verb is mastered, alittle practice will enable the +student to detect at sight the meaning of any of its compounds without +reference to any dictionary. + +It is useful also to group together in memory words derived from the +same stem, _e.g._ _can_, _cantus_; _cert_, _certmen_; _dc_, _dux_; +_reg_, _rx_, _rgius_; _caed_, _caeds_. Aspecially interesting +study consists in noting the English words which go back to Latin +originals. From various causes a large part of our English vocabulary is +borrowed from Latin. Cf. _donate_ with _dn_ and _dnum_, _lucid_ with +_lx_, _regent_ with _rx_ and _reg_. + +Finally, it will be found very helpful constantly to read Latin aloud, +for thus the _ear_ will help the _eye_ and words will have meaning when +_heard_ as well as when _seen_. Indeed, we ought to use our ears far +more than our eyes in acquiring a Latin vocabulary, in order that Latin +words, when heard, shall suggest at once to our minds the same pictures +which they suggested to the minds of Roman boys. + +#Inflections and Syntax.#--It is not enough, however, to be familiar +with the meanings of individual words, however many we may succeed in +mastering. We must possess a knowledge also of _inflections_, _i.e._ of +the declensions and conjugations, which tell us how individual words may +be altered in form in order to express different relations to other +words, and of _syntax_, which tells us how words are combined together +into sentences. Aknowledge of inflections and an understanding of +syntax are the tools by which we arrive at the meaning of sentences as a +whole. As the wise workman uses the best and most efficient tools, so +one who undertakes to read Latin with speed and pleasure must make his +mastery of inflections and syntax as complete as possible. It is assumed +that students of this book have already had some drill in the commoner +inflections. The principles of syntax can best be studied as they occur +in actual reading. The commonest, and therefore most important, are +discussed in the notes and illustrated by appropriate references to the +grammars in common use and by the tables of constructions on pages xvi +to xxvi. Avery practical way of fixing the principles of syntax firmly +in mind is by frequent translation from English into Latin. It should be +remembered, however, that we study syntax simply because such study +enables us to read and enjoy the great works of Latin literature. + +#The Order of Words.#--The greatest difficulty that confronts the +student of Latin literature is the fact that the order of the words in a +Latin sentence is widely different from that which he ordinarily finds +in an English sentence. This difference is due mainly to two causes. +(1)Every Latin sentence is a kind of word picture, in which the meaning +is developed stroke by stroke, _the separate parts being introduced in +the order of their importance_. (2)It is a principle of Latin to keep +the meaning in suspense until the very end, so that the last word +completes not only the form, but also the meaning of the sentence. Both +these principles may be seen at work in lines 1 to 5 of selection I, +page 1. _Proca_ naturally stands first, partly because the whole work is +a story of the deeds of men, partly because at this point he is +especially important, as being the reigning king, with power to choose +his own successor. The phrase _rx Albnrum_ very properly follows, as +defining the scene of the action. _Numitor_ and _Amlius_ are next +mentioned because the Latin loves to emphasize contrasts of persons. The +sense of the whole is not complete till we reach the very last word, +_habuit_. In the next sentence _Numitr_ is first, because now Numitor +is more important, as being Proca's successor. The relative clause _qu +... erat_ not only states a fact, but also gives the reason why Proca +bequeathed his kingdom (_rgnum relquit_) to Numitor. So in the words +_ut ... fcit_, the _ut_-clause tells why Amulius performed the act +indicated by the words _Rham Silviam ... fcit_, so that by the time +we know _what_ the act was we know also exactly _why_ it was performed. +The Latin thus pictures the parts of the scene in their true order, for +the motive in every case precedes the act. We see therefore that, +however strange at times the Latin order may seem to be, there is always +good reason for it. It is our task at the outset, as it soon will be our +pleasure, to determine just what this reasonis. + +Now this freer order of words in the Latin sentence is rendered possible +by the fact that Latin possesses an elaborate inflectional system, +whereas English does not. Note, however, that one familiar with Latin +declensions would know at once that in the first sentence discussed +above Proca was actor (_i.e._ subject), and Numitor and Amulius acted +upon (_i.e._ object). So in the sentence _ut ... fcit_ it is clear +that Amulius is the actor and that Rhea Silvia is acted upon. Thus the +inflectional system serves to relieve, in part at least, the very +difficulty which it creates. + +#How to Read.#--By far the best way for the beginner to make himself +familiar with the Latin order and its meaning is to _make a practice +from the very outset of reading the sentence aloud from beginning to end +before attempting to translate at all_. If the meaning is not clear at +once, arepetition of such reading will often serve to make it clear, +provided the student knows the force of the individual words and +constructions. If he does not, he must seek the aid of the vocabulary or +the notes. Then let him read the sentence once more aloud, slowly and +carefully. He should not, however, look into either vocabulary or notes +until he has read the Latin through at least once. Progress at first +will necessarily be slow, but it will be sure. By every page read in the +manner indicated above the pupil is preparing himself to read with more +and more intelligence and pleasure the pages that remain. Besides, in +this way he reads his Latin precisely as he reads English, word after +word, in the order in which it is written, and precisely as a Roman boy +1800 years ago read his Latin story or poem. He will gain further the +advantage of training his ear as well as his eye and of making it do its +fair share of the work. In translating, too, it will be wise to follow +as closely as possible the Latin order. Often it will be found that the +resulting English order, even if not very common, is none the less +intelligible. So the sentence _ut ... fcit_ discussed above may be +translated almost exactly in the Latin order. + + +LATIN COMPOSITION + +#Its Value.#--An exercise which is very practical and helpful, and which +may also become extremely delightful, is the rendering into Latin of +English sentences based upon that portion of the Latin text which has +already been carefully studied. This exercise is helpful, because it +calls upon us to put into practice the knowledge which we have acquired +in reading; it may become delightful because it shows us accurately the +measure of our advance and thus affords us the pleasure which comes from +the feeling that one is making sure progress in a given line of study. + +#Essentials.#--To write Latin well one needs precisely the things which +we found necessary in reading (pageix). The words and constructions +required in the sentences for translation given on pages 112 to 129 are +illustrated by the corresponding pages of the Latin text. The pupil +should always endeavor to recall the word, inflectional form, phrase, or +construction for himself before referring to his text or to his grammar. +In other words, he should make the exercise one of thought rather than +of mere mechanical copying from a printed model. + +#The Object.#--We read the Latin text in order to understand the +thoughts of the writer. So in turning English sentences into Latin our +chief object is to clothe the _thoughts_ which such sentences convey in +proper Latin dress, not merely to substitute Latin _words_ for English +_words_. Every language has its own peculiar expressions, which are +called _idioms_. Such expressions can never be literally translated from +one language into another. Hence in attempting to turn an English +sentence into Latin, we must begin by noting carefully the thought which +it expresses, and then consider how the Romans gave expression to that +thought. + +#Choice of Expression.#--In Latin, just as in English, it often happens +that the same thought may be expressed in several ways, which differ +greatly in the words used as well as in the form and expression. In +English it is often impossible to give a reason for the choice of one +form of expression in preference to others. Sometimes the choice is made +consciously for the sake of variety, or because there is a very slight +shade of difference in meaning,--so slight that we can perhaps feel it, +but cannot put it into words; sometimes unconsciously, because every one +falls into the habit of using certain phrases and manners of speech with +no deeper reason than the habit. The same is true of Latin writers. +Their various forms of expression have been noted and collected, and we +find them laid down in the grammars as _rules_. Some of these +expressions are found to be used by the best writers more frequently +than others, and these are considered the best models. But the student +must avoid the error of confining himself absolutely to one iron-bound +form because most stress is laid upon it by the grammars, if he finds +other modes of expression in the writings of good authors. By searching +out the greatest variety of forms in which an idea may be expressed, by +trying to discover the differences in meaning between them, and by +placing yourself as far as possible in the writer's place, you will gain +a far greater grasp and appreciation of the language than by learning a +single rigid rule and forcing it to fit every case. + +One of the central ideas of the following exercises, then, should be to +render the thought in as many ways as possible, drawing your authority +from the text on which the exercise is based, as well as from your +grammar. + +Examine the tables on pages xvi to xxvi, where you will find several of +the most important constructions treated. Compare the examples given and +try to trace out the reasons for the different forms. In many cases you +will not be able to do so, and are free to choose one of several modes +of expression. In others the meaning of the sentences and the aid of the +grammar will give the reason for your choice. + +#Caution.#--The pupil should note that all the words and constructions +necessary to enable him to write in Latin the sentences given below, +pages 112 to 129, are to be found on the pages of the Latin text upon +which the exercises are based. _An English-Latin vocabulary or +dictionary is, therefore, wholly unnecessary._ Additional sentences +based on the text may be made up by student or teacher as required. + + +TABLES OF CONSTRUCTIONS + +The following tables have been prepared for the purpose of affording the +pupil material for study and comparison, by grouping together under +appropriate heads examples of certain constructions as they actually +occur in this book. It is expected that they will be helpful to the +student in two ways: (1)by supplementing and illustrating the notes, +and (2)by affording him guides which he may follow in his writing of +Latin. No attempt whatever has been made to include under any given head +all the examples that are to be found in the text. The pupil will find +it both interesting and instructive to add to the lists himself as he +finds new instances in his own reading. + + +_A._ EXPRESSIONS OF PLACE + +1.

From the +temporal idea were developed its other meanings. So the English _when_ +frequently contains the ideas of time and cause, or time and concession +combined, and _while_ also is frequently at once temporal and +concessive. So #cum# also may represent these ideas in combination as +well as separately. In many cases, indeed, it is difficult, if not +impossible, to decide which meaning is more prominent:cf. + + #Cum# (_when_ and _since_) lupa saepius ad parvuls .. + #revertertur#, I, 16; Hs artibus #cum# (_when_ and _although_) + Hannibalem Fabius .. #clausisset#, ille .. s expedvit, XIX,31. + + +_K._ THE ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE + +1. FORM.--The ablative absolute consists usually of a noun and a +participle. The participle is generally passive, but often active: #E +rgnante#, IV, 3; #relbente flmine#, I,9. + +2. Often, however, the ablative absolute consists of a noun and +adjective, or of two nouns, or a noun and pronoun. In such cases there +is an ellipsis of the lost present participle of #sum#: + + #mgn glri# bell, IV, 75; #par# fer #rnt#, X, 6; #Appi + idice#, XII, 15; #Valeri# et #Coss cnsulibus#, XIV,1. + +3. MEANING.--The ablative absolute may denote + + TIME; compare Temporal Clauses, _G_ 1, 2, and5. + + #puls frtre#, rgnvit, I, 3; #E r cgnit#, parvuls .. + abicit in Tiberim, I, 5; #armts pstribus#, Albam propervit, + I,25. + +NOTE.--This is the original and most frequent use of the ablative +absolute. + +4. CAUSE: compare Causal Clauses, _H_ 2 and 3. + + #ort# inter es #contentine#, I, 40; drissim squmrum #lrc# + omnia tla facile #repellente#, XVII, 22; in cnfert multitdine + aegr #prcdente carpent#, XVIII,17. + +5. CONCESSION: + + agrum ius, #omnibus# circ #vstts#, intctum relquit, XIX,39. + +6. Often time and cause together: compare note on Cum Clauses, _J_. +Examples are: + + #mlitibus# sgnius #dmicantibus#, raptum sgnum in hostem msit, + VII, 9; #occs Tati#, ad Rmulum potenttus omnis recidit, II,40. + +7. CONDITION: + + #r# male #gest# (ifhe fails), XVI, 31; n, #dsert# agr, nn + esset (lest, if he neglected his farm, he might not have), XVII,34. + +8. MEANS: + + #advects ballists# et #catapults# (bybringing up, etc.) .. + diciendus hostis fuit, XVII,23. + +9. ATTENDANT CIRCUMSTANCE: + + #crnibus passs#, II, 36; #mgn glri# bell rgnvit, IV, 75; + scrb cum rge #par fer rnt# sedbat, X,6. + +10. The ablative absolute is often best translated by the English +perfect active participle with an object: #armts pstribus#, I, 25, +_having armed_ the shepherds. Acombination of an abl. abs. and a finite +verb is often best rendered by two verbs in the same mood and tense: +#intermpt Amli#, Numitrem in rgnum #restituit#, I, 37, _he killed_ +Amulius _and restored_ Numitor to the throne. + + +_L._ PARTICIPLES + +In Latin the participles, especially the perfect passive participle, are +used far more frequently than in English, and with a much larger variety +of meanings. The use of the participle tends to produce brevity of +expression. Thus the Latin participle may be equivalentto + +1. A RELATIVE CLAUSE: + + #raptae# muliers, II, 35; Rmnus .. male #sustinentem# (= qu + male sustinbat) arma Critium cnficit, IV, 29; ab lani cultr + #adrept# (with a knife _which he caught up_ from a butcher's + stall), XII, 24; #volentibus# (= es qu volbant) cnsulere s d + ire praebuit, XIII,97. + +2. A CAUSAL CLAUSE: + + necessitte #compulsus# indicvit, I, 24; nmina mtre nn potuit + #dterritus# .. Nvi auctritte, VI, 16; Hc terrre cter + #adct# nmina prmptius dedrunt, XV,25. + +3. A CONCESSIVE CLAUSE: + + #victus# (though beaten) crucis supplicium effgit, XVI,30. + +4. Latin often uses a perfect passive participle in agreement with a +noun, where, judging from English usage, we should expect a noun with a +limiting genitive: + + ob #virgins# rapts (onaccount of the _seizure of_ the maidens), + II, 14; Ann trecentsim ab #urbe condit# (from the _founding of_ + the city), XII,1. + +5. English is fond of cordinated verbs, that is, verbs in exactly the +same mood, tense, and construction, _e.g._ 'They took the ass and +saddled him.' Latin, however, objects to such constructions, and prefers +to replace the former of the two verbs by some other form of expression, +_e.g._ a passive or deponent participle. We have to notice here two +classes of sentences: + +(_a_) Such sentences as fulmine #ctum cnflagrsse#, IV, 74, which = +fulmine #ctum esse et cnflagrsse#, _i.e._ 'he _was struck_ by +lightning _and burned_,' etc. + +(_b_) such sentences as the following: parvuls alve #imposits +abicit#, I, 6 = parvuls alve #imposuit et abicit#; #latam# secrim +in ius caput #dicit#, VI, 37 = #extulit# secrim #et# in ius caput +#dicit#; cniugem Cri #voctum# .. rgem #saltvit#, VII, 47 = +cniugem Cri #vocvit et# eum rgem #saltvit#. + + +_M._ INDIRECT DISCOURSE + +1. INDIRECT DISCOURSE DEFINED.--The terms _Direct Discourse_ and +_Indirect Discourse_ denote the two distinct ways in which a writer may +quote the statement or represent the thought of another person. If the +writer gives the exact words in which the statement was made, or in +which the thought was formulated (ifput into words at all), he is said +to use the _direct_ discourse. If, on the other hand, he gives merely +the substance or the gist of his own or another's statements or +thoughts, he is said to use the _indirect_ discourse. In Latin, as in +English, the indirect discourse is more common than the direct. + +2. In passing from the direct discourse to the indirect, numerous +changes become necessary. These may, however, be readily grouped under +two heads: (_a_) those which occur in principal clauses, and (_b_) those +which occur in subordinate clauses. + +3. CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL CLAUSES.--Principal clauses may be declarative, +interrogative, or imperative; that is, they may make a statement, ask a +question, or give expression to a command. We thus have to consider +three forms of principal clauses: (_a_) Statements, (_b_) Questions, +(_c_) Commands. + +4. STATEMENTS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Statements of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, +fall into the infinitive mood, because they become objects of verbs of +saying: + + adfrmns #vsum# (sc.#esse#) s Rmulum .. eundemque + #praecipere#, II, 51 (direct form, #vsus est# m Rmulus .. + demque #praecipit#); prclmbat fliam suam ire #caesam esse#, + IV, 43 (direct form, flia mea ire #caesa est#); mintur s v + #abstrctrum#, XII, 12 (direct form (ego) v t #abstraham#). + +5. QUESTIONS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Questions of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, +fall into the subjunctive mood, because they are in reality dependent on +a verb of asking. No example of a question in formal indirect discourse +occurs in the selections contained in this book. Indirect questions +(cf.p.3, n.2), however, fall under this general head as giving some +one's thoughts without quoting his exact words. + +6. COMMANDS IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Commands of the Direct Discourse, on passing into the Indirect, fall +into the subjunctive, because they are in reality dependent on some verb +like _impervit_, to be supplied in thought: + + proinde #n gravrtur# s spectandum praebre, XXI, 289 (direct + form, #Nl gravr# t spectandum praebre); satis cnstat Sullam + .. prclmsse, #vincerent#, dummodo scrent, XXVII, 12-15 (direct + form, #Vincite#, dummodo scitis). + +7. SUBORDINATE CLAUSES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE. + +All Subordinate Clauses of the Indirect Discourse have their verbs in +the subjunctive mood: + + Tatius .. Tarpiae optinem mneris dedit, #s .. perdxisset#, + II, 19-21 (direct form, d or dab optinem mneris, #s .. + perdxeris#: see note); Illa petiit quod #gererent#, II, 21 (direct + form, Pet quod .. #geritis#). + + + + +The grammatical references in the footnotes are to the Latin Grammars in +most common use; H= Harkness' Complete Latin Grammar, references to +Harkness' Standard Grammar being inclosed in parentheses; M= Lane & +Morgan; A= Allen & Greenough; G= Gildersleeve; B= Bennett. + + + + + [Illustration: THE HILLS OF ROME] + +The original Latin city comprised only the Palatine and a small portion +of the surrounding territory. The Etruscans inhabited the Caelian Hill, +and extended toward the Esquiline. The Sabine town occupied the +Quirinal, which was originally connected with the Capitoline, on which +was the Sabine citadel, by a ridge sloping toward the Forum and the +Campus Martius. Ancus Marcius added to the city the Aventine, and built +a fortress on the Janiculum. Servius Tullius added the Viminal and +Esquiline, and inclosed the seven hills with a line of fortifications, +of which one portion is still traceable. The ridge connecting the +Capitoline and Quirinal was a barrier which cut the town in two. The +only means of communication between the two halves of the city, when its +population had reached nearly two million inhabitants, were the narrow +strip of land between the Capitoline and the river and a lane ten feet +wide crossing the ridge. To relieve the pressure, this ridge was cut +away by the Emperor Trajan, in whose Forum on the site of the +excavations stands the well-known 'Trajan's Column,' 140 feet high, +'erected to show to posterity how high was the mountain leveled by the +Emperor.' The business portion of the modern city occupies the Campus +Martius, its main artery, the famous 'Corso,' following the line of the +ancient street shown on the plan.

After many + wanderings Aeneas reached Italy, married there Lavinia, the + daughter of Latinus, king of the Latins, and founded a town called + Lavinium, from the name of his wife. He was succeeded by his son + Ascanius, who founded a second city, called Alba Longa, and + transferred thither the seat of government. The date traditionally + assigned to the capture of Troy was 1184 B.C. Hence it is clear + that Alba Longa was settled more than 400 years before the + foundation of Rome in 754 B.C. To fill this gap a list of fourteen + Alban kings, all descendants of Aeneas, was given by the Roman + writers. How Rome itself was founded from Alba Longa is described + in the text. It should be kept constantly in mind that little + faith is to be put in these traditional accounts of Rome's early + history, at least as far as details are concerned. Latin writers + tell us that the oldest records of the city perished in the sack + of Rome by the Gauls in 388 B.C. The first historical work written + by a Roman was published about 215 B.C., more than 500 years after + the foundation of the city. Many of the stories were obviously + invented to account for institutions which existed in the later + times, and the traditional narrative is full of inconsistencies + and contradictions. + + [Footnotes: I (pages 1-4) + + 1.1: #Proca# was the twelfth king of Alba Longa. + 1.2: #nt mior#: 'greater by birth' = 'elder.' + 1.3: from _relinqu_. + 1.4: #puls# (_pell_) #frtre#: abl. abs.; 'his brother having + been driven out' (pass.) = 'having driven out,' _or_ 'when he had + driven out his brother' (act.): H489 (431): M638: A255: G409: + B227. + 1.5: #ut prvret#: purpose: H 568 (497, II): M893: A317, 1: + G545: B282. + 1.6: abl. of separation: H 462 (414, I): M 601: A 243, _a_: G405: + B214, 1, c. + 2.1: See Voc., _Vesta_. + 2.2: #quae# = _sed ea_. + 2.3: _d_. + 2.4: #e r cgnit# (_cgnsc_): cf. p.1, n.4. + 2.5: i.e. Rhea Silvia. + 2.6: _conici_. + 2.7: dat. with compound verb: H 429 (386): M 534: A228: G347: + B187, III. + 2.8: #imposits# (_impn_) #abicit# (_abici_) = _imposuit et + abicit_.

Qui cum audivisset patri diem dictam esse a Pomponio, tribuno +plebis, cepit consilium rudis quidem et agrestis animi, sed pietate +laudabile. Cultro succinctus mane in urbem atque a porta confestim ad +Pomponium pergit: introductus cultrum stringit et super lectum Pomponii +stans se eum transfixurum minatur, nisi ab incepta accusatione desistat. +Pavidus tribunus, quippe qui cerneret ferrum ante oculos micans, +accusationem dimisit. Ea res adulescenti eo maiori fuit honori quod +animum eius acerbitas paterna a pietate non avertisset, ideoque eodem +anno tribunus militum factus est. + +Cum postea Galli ad tertium lapidem trans Anienem fluvium castra +posuissent, exercitus Romanus ab urbe profectus in citeriore ripa fluvii +constitit. Pons in medio erat: tunc Gallus eximia corporis magnitudine +in vacuum pontem processit et quam maxima voce potuit "Quem nunc" inquit +"Roma fortissimum habet, is procedat agedum ad pugnam, ut eventus +certaminis nostri ostendat utra gens bello sit melior." Diu inter +primores iuvenum Romanorum silentium fuit. Tum Titus Manlius ex statione +ad imperatorem pergit: "Iniussu tuo," inquit, "imperator, extra ordinem +numquam pugnaverim, non si certam victoriam videam; si tu permittis, +volo ego illi beluae ostendere me ex ea familia ortum esse, quae +Gallorum agmen ex rupe Tarpeia deiecit." Cui imperator "Macte virtute," +inquit "Tite Manli, esto: perge et nomen Romanum invictum praesta." + +Armant deinde iuvenem aequales: scutum capit, Hispano cingitur gladio, +ad propiorem pugnam habili. Exspectabat eum Gallus stolide laetus et +linguam ab inrisu exserens. Ubi constitere inter duas acies, Gallus +ensem cum ingenti sonitu in arma Manlii deiecit. Manlius vero inter +corpus et arma Galli sese insinuans uno alteroque ictu ventrem +transfodit et in spatium ingens ruentem porrexit hostem; iacenti torquem +detraxit, quem cruore respersum collo circumdedit suo. Defixerat pavor +cum admiratione Gallos; Romani alacres obviam militi suo progrediuntur +et gratulantes laudantesque ad imperatorem perducunt.

Movit ferocem animum +iuvenis seu ira seu detrectandi certaminis pudor. Itaque oblitus imperii +paterni in certamen ruit et Latinum ex equo excussum transfixit +spoliisque lectis in castra ad patrem venit. Extemplo filium aversatus +consul milites classico advocat. Qui postquam frequentes convenere, +"Quandoquidem" inquit "tu, fili, contra imperium consulis pugnasti, +oportet disciplinam, quam solvisti, poena tua restituas. Triste +exemplum, sed in posterum salubre iuventuti eris. I, lictor, deliga ad +palum." Metu omnes obstupuere; sed postquam cervice caesa fusus est +cruor, in questus et lamenta erupere. Manlio Romam redeunti seniores +tantum obviam exierunt: iuventus et tunc eum et omni deinde vita +exsecrata est. + +Operae pretium erit aliud severitatis disciplinae Romanae exemplum +proferre, simul ut appareat quam facile severitas in crudelitatem et +furorem abeat. Cn. Piso fuit vir a multis vitiis integer, sed pravus et +cui placebat pro constantia rigor. Is cum iratus ad mortem duci +iussisset militem, quasi interfecisset commilitonem, cum quo egressus +erat e castris et sine quo redierat, roganti tempus aliquod ad +conquirendum non dedit.

Is ubi ad consulem accessit, exortus +est militum clamor auditaque vox, idem huic faciendum esse, quod paucis +ante annis Cornelio consuli a Poenis factum esset. Cornelius enim, velut +in conloquium per fraudem evocatus, a Poenis comprehensus erat et in +vincula coniectus. Iam Hanno timere incipiebat, sed periculum astuto +responso avertit: "Hoc vero" inquit "si feceritis, nihilo eritis Afris +meliores." Consul tacere iussit eos, qui par pari referri volebant, et +conveniens gravitati Romanae responsum dedit: "Isto te metu, Hanno, +fides Romana liberat." De pace, quia neque Poenus serio agebat et consul +victoriam quam pacem malebat, non convenit. + +Regulus deinde in Africam primus Romanorum ducum traiecit. Clypeam urbem +et trecenta castella expugnavit, neque cum hominibus tantum, sed etiam +cum monstris dimicavit. Nam cum ad flumen Bagradam castra haberet, +anguis mira magnitudine exercitum Romanorum vexabat; multos milites +ingenti ore corripuit; plures caudae verbere elisit; nonnullos ipso +pestilentis halitus adflatu exanimavit. Neque is telorum ictu perforari +poterat, durissima squamarum lorica omnia tela facile repellente. +Confugiendum fuit ad machinas advectisque ballistis et catapultis, velut +arx quaedam munita, deiciendus hostis fuit. Tandem saxorum pondere +oppressus iacuit, sed cruore suo flumen corporisque pestifero adflatu +vicina loca infecit Romanosque castra inde submovere coegit. Corium +beluae, centum et viginti pedes longum, Romam misit Regulus. + +Huic ob res bene gestas imperium in annum proximum prorogatum est.

Senatus, acceptis litteris, res quas Regulus amiserat publica +pecunia redimi iussit, agellum colendum locavit, alimenta coniugi ac +liberis praebuit.

Quintus Fabius Maximus# [[stripped text]] + +Hannibal, Hamilcaris filius, novem annos natus, a patre aris admotus +odium in Romanos perenne iuravit. Quae res maxime videtur concitasse +secundum Punicum bellum. Nam, mortuo Hamilcare, Hannibal causam belli +quaerens Saguntum, civitatem Hispaniae Romanis foederatam evertit. +Quapropter Roma missi sunt Carthaginem legati, qui Hannibalem, mali +auctorem, exposcerent. Tergiversantibus Poenis Quintus Fabius, +legationis princeps, sinu ex toga facto "Hic" inquit "vobis bellum et +pacem portamus; utrum placet, sumite." Poenis daret utrum vellet +succlamantibus, Fabius, excussa toga, bellum se dare dicit. Poeni +accipere se responderunt et, quibus acciperent animis, iisdem se +gesturos. + +Hannibal superatis Pyrenaei et Alpium iugis in Italiam venit. Publium +Scipionem apud Ticinum amnem, Sempronium apud Trebiam, Flaminium apud +Trasumenum profligavit. + +Adversus hostem totiens victorem missus Quintus Fabius dictator +Hannibalis impetum mora fregit; namque, priorum ducum cladibus edoctus +belli rationem mutare et adversus Hannibalem, successibus proeliorum +insolentem, recedere ab ancipiti discrimine et tueri tantummodo Italiam +constituit Cunctatorisque nomen et laudem summi ducis meruit. Per loca +alta agmen ducebat modico ab hoste intervallo, ut neque omitteret eum +neque cum eo congrederetur; castris, nisi quantum necessitas cogeret, +miles tenebatur. Dux neque occasioni rei bene gerendae deerat, si qua ab +hoste daretur, neque ullam ipse hosti dabat. Itaque cum ex levibus +proeliis superior discederet, militem minus iam coepit aut virtutis suae +aut fortunae paenitere. + +His artibus cum Hannibalem Fabius in agro Falerno locorum angustiis +clausisset, ille sine ullo exercitus detrimento se expedivit. Namque +arida sarmenta in boum cornibus deligata principio noctis incendi +bovesque ad montes, quos Romani insederant, agi iussit. Qui cum accensis +cornibus per montes, per silvas huc illuc discurrerent, Romani miraculo +attoniti constiterunt; ipse Fabius, insidias esse ratus, militem extra +vallum egredi vetuit. Interea Hannibal ex angustiis evasit. + +Dein Hannibal, ut Fabio apud suos conflaret invidiam, agrum eius, +omnibus circa vastatis, intactum reliquit. At Fabius, misso Romam Quinto +filio, inviolatum ab hoste agrum vendidit eiusque pretio captivos +Romanos redemit. + +Haud grata tamen Romanis erat Fabii cunctatio: eumque pro cauto timidum, +pro cunctatore segnem vocitabant. Augebat invidiam Minucius, magister +equitum, dictatorem criminando: illum in ducendo bello sedulo tempus +terere, quo diutius in magistratu esset solusque et Romae et in exercitu +imperium haberet. His sermonibus accensa plebs dictatori magistrum +equitum imperio aequavit. Hanc iniuriam aequo animo tulit Fabius +exercitumque suum cum Minucio divisit. Cum autem Minucius temere +proelium commisisset, ei periclitanti auxilio venit Fabius. Cuius subito +adventu repressus Hannibal receptui cecinit, palam confessus ab se +Minucium, se a Fabio victum esse. Redeuntem ex acie dixisse eum ferunt +tandem eam nubem, quae sedere in iugis montium solita esset, cum +procella imbrem dedisse. Minucius autem periculo liberatus castra cum +Fabio iunxit et patrem eum appellavit idemque facere milites iussit. + +Postea Hannibal Tarento per proditionem potitus est. Hanc urbem ut +Poenis traderent, tredecim fere nobiles iuvenes Tarentini coniuraverant. +Hi, nocte per speciem venandi urbe egressi, ad Hannibalem, qui haud +procul castra habebat, venerunt. Cui cum quid pararent exposuissent, +conlaudavit eos Hannibal monuitque ut redeuntes pecora Carthaginiensium, +quae pastum propulsa essent, ad urbem agerent et veluti praedam ex hoste +factam aut praefecto aut custodibus portarum donarent. Id iterum ac +saepius ab iis factum eoque consuetudinis adducta res est, ut, quocumque +noctis tempore sibilo dedissent signum, porta urbis aperiretur. Tunc +Hannibal eos nocte media cum decem milibus hominum delectorum secutus +est. Ubi portae appropinquarunt, nota iuvenum vox et familiare signum +vigilem excitavit. Duo primi inferebant aprum vasti corporis. Vigil +incautus, dum beluae magnitudinem miratur, venabulo occisus est. +Ingressi proditores ceteros vigiles sopitos obtruncant. Tum Hannibal cum +suo agmine ingreditur: Romani passim trucidantur. Livius Salinator, +Romanorum praefectus, cum iis, qui caedi superfuerunt, in arcem +confugit. + +Profectus igitur Fabius ad recipiendum Tarentum urbem obsidione cinxit. +Leve dictu momentum ad rem ingentem perficiendam eum adiuvit. Praefectus +praesidii Tarentini deperibat amore mulierculae, cuius frater in +exercitu Fabii erat. Miles iussus a Fabio pro perfuga Tarentum transiit +ac per sororem praefectum ad tradendam urbem perpulit. Fabius vigilia +prima accessit ad eam partem muri, quam praefectus custodiebat. +Adiuvantibus recipientibusque eius militibus, Romani in urbem +transcenderunt. Inde, proxima porta refracta, Fabius cum exercitu +intravit. Hannibal nuntiata Tarenti oppugnatione, cum ad opem ferendam +festinans captam urbem esse audivisset, "Et Romani" inquit "suum +Hannibalem habent: eadem, qua ceperamus, arte Tarentum amisimus." + +Cum postea Livius Salinator coram Fabio gloriaretur, quod arcem +Tarentinam retinuisset, dixissetque eum sua opera Tarentum recepisse, +"Certe" inquit Fabius ridens, "nam nisi tu amisisses, ego numquam +recepissem." + +Quintus Fabius iam senex filio suo consuli legatus fuit; cumque in eius +castra veniret, filius obviam patri progressus est, duodecim lictoribus +pro more antecedentibus. Equo vehebatur senex neque appropinquante +consule descendit. Iam ex lictoribus undecim verecundia paternae +maiestatis taciti praeterierant. Quod cum consul animadvertisset, +proximum lictorem iussit inclamare Fabio patri ut ex equo descenderet. +Pater tum desiliens "Non ego, fili," inquit "tuum imperium contempsi, +sed experiri volui num scires consulem te esse."

Hannibal autem ita constituerat aciem, ut Romanis +et solis radii et ventus ab oriente pulverem adflans adversi essent. +Victus caesusque est Romanus exercitus; nusquam graviore vulnere +adflicta est res publica. Aemilius Paulus telis obrutus cecidit: quem +cum media in pugna sedentem in saxo oppletum cruore conspexisset quidam +tribunus militum, "Cape" inquit "hunc equum et fuge, Aemili. Etiam sine +tua morte lacrimarum satis luctusque est." Ad ea consul: "Tu quidem +macte virtute esto! Sed cave exiguum tempus e manibus hostium evadendi +perdas! Abi, nuntia patribus ut urbem muniant ac prius quam hostis +victor adveniat, praesidiis firment. Me in hac strage meorum militum +patere exspirare." Alter consul cum paucis equitibus Venusiam perfugit. +Consulares aut praetorii occiderunt viginti, senatores capti aut occisi +triginta, nobiles viri trecenti, militum quadraginta milia, equitum tria +milia et quingenti.

Cumque Hannibal +illud non probasset, Maharbal "Non omnia nimirum" inquit "eidem dii +dedere. Vincere scis, Hannibal; victoria uti nescis." Mora huius diei +satis creditur saluti fuisse urbi et imperio.

Nam et barbam capillumque submisit, et postea +numquam recubans cibum cepit; honoribus quoque, cum ei deferrentur a +populo, renuntiavit, dicens felicioribus magistratibus rei publicae opus +esse. Dum igitur Hannibal segniter et otiose agebat. Romani interim +respirare coeperunt. Arma non erant: detracta sunt templis vetera +hostium spolia. Deerat iuventus: servi manumissi et armati sunt.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus# [[stripped text]] + +Publius Cornelius Scipio nondum annos pueritiae egressus patrem +singulari virtute servavit; qui cum pugna apud Ticinum contra Hannibalem +commissa graviter vulneratus in hostium manus iam iam venturus esset, +filius interiecto corpore Poenis inruentibus se opposuit et patrem +periculo liberavit. Quae pietas Scipioni postea aedilitatem petenti +favorem populi conciliavit. Cum obsisterent tribuni plebis, negantes +rationem eius esse habendam, quod nondum ad petendum legitima aetas +esset, "Si me" inquit Scipio "omnes Quirites aedilem facere volunt, +satis annorum habeo." Tanto inde favore ad suffragia itum est, ut +tribuni incepto desisterent. + +Post cladem Cannensem Romani exercitus reliquiae Canusium perfugerant; +cumque ibi tribuni militum quattuor essent, tamen omnium consensu ad +Publium Scipionem, admodum adulescentem, summa imperii delata est. +Quibus consultantibus nuntiat Publius Furius Philus, consularis viri +filius, nobiles quosdam iuvenes propter desperationem consilium de +Italia deserenda inire. Statim in hospitium Metelli, qui conspirationis +erat princeps, se contulit Scipio, et cum concilium ibi iuvenum, de +quibus adlatum erat, invenisset, stricto super capita consultantium +gladio, "Iurate" inquit "vos neque ipsos rem publicam populi Romani +deserturos, neque alium civem Romanum deserere passuros: qui non +iuraverit, in se hunc gladium strictum esse sciat." Haud secus pavidi, +quam si victorem Hannibalem cernerent, iurant omnes custodiendosque +semet ipsos Scipioni tradunt. + +Cum Romani duas clades in Hispania accepissent duoque ibi summi +imperatores intra dies triginta cecidissent, placuit exercitum augeri +eoque proconsulem mitti; nec tamen quem mitterent satis constabat. Ea de +re indicta sunt comitia. Primo populus exspectabat ut, qui se tanto +dignos imperio crederent, nomina profiterentur; sed nemo audebat illud +imperium suscipere. Maesta igitur civitas ac prope inops consilii +comitiorum die in campum descendit. Subito P. Cornelius Scipio, quattuor +et viginti ferme annos natus, professus se petere, in superiore, unde +conspici posset, loco constitit. In quem postquam omnium ora conversa +sunt, ad unum omnes Scipionem in Hispania proconsulem esse iusserunt. At +postquam animorum impetus resedit, populum Romanum coepit facti +paenitere: aetati Scipionis maxime diffidebant. Quod ubi animadvertit +Scipio, advocata contione ita magno elatoque animo de bello, quod +gerendum esset, disseruit, ut homines cura liberaret speque certissima +impleret. + +Profectus igitur in Hispaniam Scipio Carthaginem Novam, quo die venit, +expugnavit. Eo congestae erant omnes paene Africae et Hispaniae opes, +ibi arma, ibi pecunia, ibi totius Hispaniae obsides erant: quibus +omnibus potitus est Scipio. Inter captivos ad eum adducta est eximiae +formae adulta virgo. Quam ubi comperit inlustri loco inter Celtiberos +natam principique eius gentis adulescenti desponsam esse, arcessitis +parentibus et sponso eam reddidit. Parentes virginis, qui ad eam +redimendam satis magnum auri pondus attulerant, Scipionem orabant ut id +a se donum acciperet. Scipio aurum ante pedes poni iussit vocatoque ad +se virginis sponso, "Super dotem" inquit "quam accepturus a socero es, +haec tibi a me dotalia dona accedent" aurumque tollere ac sibi habere +iussit. Ille domum reversus ad referendam Scipioni gratiam Celtiberos +Romanis conciliavit. + +Deinde Scipio Hasdrubalem victum ex Hispania expulit. Castris hostium +potitus omnem praedam militibus concessit, captivos Hispanos sine pretio +domum dimisit; Afros vero vendi iussit. Erat inter eos puer adultus +regii generis, forma insigni: quem cum percontaretur Scipio quis et +cuias esset, et cur id aetatis in castris fuisset, "Numida sum" inquit +puer, "Massivam populares vocant: orbus a patre relictus, apud avum +maternum, Numidiae regem, educatus sum. Cum avunculo Masinissa, qui +nuper subsidio Carthaginiensibus venit, in Hispaniam traieci; prohibitus +propter aetatem a Masinissa numquam ante proelium inii. Eo die, quo +pugnatum est cum Romanis, inscio avunculo, clam armis equoque sumpto, in +aciem exii: ibi, prolapso equo, captus sum a Romanis." Scipio eum +interrogat velletne ad avunculum reverti. Cum, effusis gaudio lacrimis, +id vero se cupere puer diceret, tum Scipio puero anulum aureum equumque +ornatum donat datisque qui tuto deducerent equitibus dimisit. + +Cum Publius Cornelius Scipio se erga Hispanos clementer gessisset, +circumfusa multitudo eum regem ingenti consensu appellavit; at Scipio, +silentio per praeconem facto, "Nomen imperatoris" inquit, "quo me mei +milites appellarunt, mihi maximum est: regium nomen, alibi magnum, Romae +intolerabile est. Si id amplissimum iudicatis, quod regale est, vobis +licet existimare regalem in me esse animum; sed oro vos ut a regis +appellatione abstineatis." Sensere etiam barbari magnitudinem animi, qua +Scipio id aspernabatur, quod ceteri mortales admirantur et concupiscunt. + +Scipio recepta Hispania cum iam bellum in ipsam Africam transferre +meditaretur, conciliandos prius regum et gentium animos existimavit. +Syphacem, Maurorum regem, opulentissimum totius Africae regem, quem +magno usui sibi fore speraret, primum tentare statuit. Itaque legatum +cum donis ad eum misit C. Laelium, quocum intima familiaritate vivebat. +Syphax amicitiam Romanorum se accipere adnuit, sed fidem nec dare nec +accipere, nisi cum ipso coram duce Romano, voluit. Scipio igitur in +Africam traiecit. Forte ita incidit, ut eo ipso tempore Hasdrubal pulsus +Hispania ad eundem portum appelleret, Syphacis amicitiam pariter +petiturus. Uterque a rege in hospitium invitatus. Cenatum simul apud +regem est; eodem etiam lecto Scipio atque Hasdrubal accubuerunt. Tanta +autem inerat comitas in Scipione, ut non Syphacem modo, sed etiam hostem +infestissimum Hasdrubalem sibi conciliaret. Scipio, foedere icto cum +Syphace, in Hispaniam ad exercitum rediit. + +Masinissa quoque amicitiam cum Scipione iungere iam dudum cupiebat. +Quare ad eum tres Numidarum principes misit ad tempus locumque conloquio +statuendum. Duos pro obsidibus retineri a Scipione iubet; remisso +tertio, qui Masinissam ad locum constitutum adduceret, Scipio et +Masinissa cum paucis in conloquium venerunt. Ceperat iam ante Numidam ex +fama rerum gestarum admiratio viri, sed maior praesentis veneratio +cepit: erat enim in vultu maiestas summa; accedebat promissa caesaries +habitusque corporis, non cultus munditiis, sed virilis vere ac +militaris, et florens iuventa. Prope attonitus ipso congressu Numida +gratias de filio fratris remisso agit: adfirmat se ex eo tempore eam +quaesivisse occasionem, quam tandem oblatam non omiserit; cupere se illi +et populo Romano operam navare. Laetus eum Scipio audivit atque in +societatem recepit. + +Scipio deinde Romam rediit et ante annos consul factus est. Sicilia ei +provincia decreta est permissumque ut in Africam inde traiceret. Qui cum +vellet ex fortissimis peditibus Romanis trecentorum equitum numerum +complere, nec posset illos subito armis et equis instruere, id prudenti +consilio perfecit. Namque ex omni Sicilia trecentos iuvenes nobilissimos +et ditissimos, qui equis militarent et secum in Africam traicerent, +legit diemque iis edixit, qua equis armisque instructi atque ornati +adessent. Gravis ea militia, procul domo, terra marique multos labores, +magna pericula adlatura videbatur; neque ipsos modo, sed parentes +cognatosque eorum ea cura angebat. Ubi dies quae dicta erat advenit, +arma equosque ostenderunt, sed omnes fere longinquum et grave bellum +horrere apparebat. Tunc Scipio militiam iis se remissurum ait, si arma +et equos militibus Romanis voluissent tradere. Laeti condicionem +acceperunt iuvenes Siculi. Ita Scipio sine publica impensa suos +instruxit ornavitque equites. + +Tunc Scipio ex Sicilia in Africam vento secundo profectus est tanto +militum ardore, ut non ad bellum duci viderentur, sed ad certa victoriae +praemia. Celeriter naves e conspectu Siciliae ablatae sunt conspectaque +brevi Africae litora. Scipio cum egrediens ad terram navi prolapsus +esset et ob hoc attonitos milites cerneret, id, quod trepidationem +adferebat, in hortationem convertens, "Africam oppressi" inquit, +"milites!" Expositis copiis in proximis tumulis castra metatus est. Ibi +speculatores hostium in castris deprehensos et ad se perductos nec +supplicio adfecit nec de consiliis ac viribus Poenorum percontatus est, +sed circa omnes Romani exercitus manipulos curavit deducendos; dein +interrogatos num ea satis considerassent, quae speculari erant iussi, +prandio dato incolumes dimisit. + +Scipioni in Africam advenienti Masinissa se coniunxit cum parva equitum +turma. Syphax vero a Romanis ad Poenos defecerat. Hasdrubal, Poenorum +dux, Syphaxque Scipioni se opposuerunt, qui utriusque castra una nocte +perrupit et incendit. Syphax ipse captus et vivus ad Scipionem +pertractus est. Syphacem in castra adduci cum esset nuntiatum, omnis +velut ad spectaculum triumphi multitudo effusa est; praecedebat ipse +vinctus, sequebatur grex nobilium Maurorum. Movebat omnes fortuna viri, +cuius amicitiam olim Scipio petierat. Regem aliosque captivos Romam +misit Scipio; Masinissam, qui egregie rem Romanam adiuverat, aurea +corona donavit. + +Haec et aliae, quae sequebantur, clades Carthaginiensibus tantum +terroris intulerunt, ut Hannibalem ex Italia ad tuendam patriam +revocarent. Frendens gemensque ac vix lacrimis temperans is dicitur +legatorum verba audisse mandatisque paruisse. Respexit saepe Italiae +litora, semet accusans, quod non victorem exercitum statim ab Cannensi +pugna Romam duxisset. Zamam venerat Hannibal, quae urbs quinque dierum +iter a Carthagine abest, et nuntium ad Scipionem misit ut conloquendi +secum potestatem faceret. Scipio cum conloquium haud abnuisset, dies +locusque constituitur. Itaque congressi sunt duo clarissimi suae aetatis +duces. Steterunt aliquamdiu taciti mutuaque admiratione defixi. Cum vero +de condicionibus pacis inter eos non convenisset, ad suos se receperunt, +renuntiantes armis decernendum esse. Commisso deinde proelio Hannibal +victus cum quattuor equitibus fugit. Ceterum constat utrumque de altero +confessum esse nec melius instrui aciem nec acrius potuisse pugnari. + +Carthaginienses metu perculsi ad petendam pacem oratores mittunt +triginta civitatis principes. Qui ubi in castra Romana venerunt, veniam +civitati petebant non culpam purgantes, sed initium culpae in Hannibalem +transferentes. Victis leges imposuit Scipio. Legati, cum nullas +condiciones recusarent, Romam profecti sunt, ut, quae a Scipione pacta +essent, ea patrum ac populi auctoritate confirmarentur. Ita pace terra +marique parta, Scipio exercitu in naves imposito Romam revertit. Ad quem +advenientem concursus ingens factus est; effusa non ex urbibus modo, sed +etiam ex agris multitudo viam obsidebat. Scipio inter gratulantium +plausus triumpho omnium clarissimo urbem est invectus primusque nomine +victae a se gentis est nobilitatus Africanusque appellatus. + +Ex his rebus gestis virum eum esse virtutis divinae vulgo creditum est. +Id etiam dicere haud piget, quod scriptores de eo litteris mandaverunt, +Scipionem consuevisse, priusquam dilucesceret, in Capitolium ventitare +ac iubere aperiri cellam Iovis ibi solum diu demorari, quasi +consultantem de re publica cum Iove: aedituosque eius templi saepe esse +miratos, quod eum id temporis in Capitolium ingredientem canes, semper +in alios saevientes, non latrarent. Has vulgi de Scipione opiniones +confirmare atque approbare videbantur dicta factaque eius pleraque +admiranda, ex quibus est unum huiuscemodi. Adsidebat oppugnabatque +oppidum in Hispania, situ moenibusque ac defensoribus validum et +munitum, re etiam cibaria copiosum, neque ulla eius potiundi spes erat. +Quodam die ius in castris sedens dicebat Scipio atque ex eo loco id +oppidum procul videbatur. Tum e militibus, qui in iure apud eum stabant, +interrogavit quispiam ex more in quem diem locumque vades sisti iuberet. +Et Scipio manum ad ipsam oppidi, quod obsidebatur, arcem protendens, +"Perendie" inquit "sese sistant illo in loco," atque ita factum. Die +tertia, in quam vades sisti iusserat, oppidum captum est. Eodem die in +arce eius oppidi ius dixit. + +Hannibal, a Scipione victus suisque invisus, ad Antiochum, Syriae regem, +confugit eumque hostem Romanis fecit. Missi sunt Roma legati ad +Antiochum, in quibus erat Scipio Africanus, qui cum Hannibale Ephesi +conlocutus ab eo quaesivit, quem fuisse maximum imperatorem crederet. +Respondit Hannibal Alexandrum, Macedonum regem, maximum sibi videri, +quod parva manu innumerabiles exercitus fudisset. Quaerenti deinde, quem +secundum poneret, "Pyrrhum" inquit, "quod primus castra metari docuit +nemoque illo elegantius loca cepit et praesidia deposuit." Sciscitanti +denique quem tertium duceret, semet ipsum dixit. Tum ridens Scipio +"Quidnam tu diceres" inquit "si me vicisses?" "Tum me vero" respondit +Hannibal "et ante Alexandrum et ante Pyrrhum et ante omnes alios +imperatores posuissem." Ita improviso adsentationis genere Scipionem e +grege imperatorum velut inaestimabilem secernebat. + +Scipio ipse fertur quondam dixisse, cum eum quidam parum pugnacem +dicerent, "Imperatorem me mater, non bellatorem peperit." Idem dicere +solitus est non solum dandam esse viam fugientibus, sed etiam muniendam. + +Decreto adversus Antiochum bello cum Syria provincia obvenisset Lucio +Scipioni, quia parum in eo putabatur esse animi, parum roboris, senatus +gerendi huius belli curam mandari volebat conlegae eius C. Laelio. +Surgens tunc Scipio Africanus, frater maior Lucii Scipionis, illam +familiae ignominiam deprecatus est: dixit in fratre suo summam esse +virtutem, summum consilium seque ei legatum fore promisit. Quod cum ab +eo esset dictum, nihil est de Lucii Scipionis provincia commutatum: +itaque frater natu maior minori legatus in Asiam profectus est et tam +diu eum consilio operaque adiuvit, donec triumphum ille et cognomen +Asiatici peperisset. + +Eodem bello filius Scipionis Africani captus est et ad Antiochum +deductus. Benigne et liberaliter adulescentem rex habuit, quamquam ab +eius patre tum maxime finibus imperii pellebatur. Cum deinde pacem +Antiochus a Romanis peteret, legatus eius Publium Scipionem adiit eique +filium sine pretio redditurum regem dixit, si per eum pacem impetrasset. +Cui Scipio respondit "Abi, nuntia regi, me pro tanto munere gratias +agere; sed nunc aliam gratiam non possum referre, quam ut ei suadeam ut +bello absistat et pacis condicionem nullam recuset." Pax non convenit; +tamen Antiochus Scipioni filium remisit tantique viri maiestatem +venerari quam dolorem suum ulcisci maluit. + +Victo Antiocho cum praedae ratio a L. Scipione reposceretur, Africanus +prolatum ab eo librum, quo acceptae et expensae summae continebantur et +refelli inimicorum accusatio poterat, discerpsit, indignatus de ea re +dubitari, quae sub ipso legato administrata esset. Quin etiam hunc in +modum verba fecit: "Non est quod quaeratis, patres conscripti, num +parvam pecuniam in aerarium rettulerim, qui antea illud Punico auro +repleverim, neque mea innocentia potest in dubium vocari.

Quod ubi praedones animadverterunt, +abiectis armis ianuae appropinquant et clara voce nuntiant Scipioni se +non vitae eius hostes, sed virtutis admiratores venisse, conspectum +tanti viri, quasi caeleste aliquod beneficium, expetentes; proinde ne +gravaretur se spectandum praebere. Haec postquam audivit Scipio, fores +reserari eosque introduci iussit.

Tiberius Gracchus et Gaius Gracchus# [[stripped text]] + +Tiberius et Gaius Gracchi Scipionis Africani ex filia nepotes erant. +Horum adulescentia bonis artibus et magna omnium spe exacta est: ad +egregiam enim indolem optima accedebat educatio.

Cum Campana matrona, apud illam hospita, ornamenta +sua, illo saeculo pulcherrima, ostentaret ei muliebriter, Cornelia +traxit eam sermone quousque e schola redirent liberi. Quos reversos +hospitae ostendens, "Haec" inquit "mea ornamenta sunt." Nihil quidem his +adulescentibus neque a natura neque a doctrina defuit; sed ambo rem +publicam, quam tueri poterant, perturbare maluerunt. + +Tiberius Gracchus, tribunus plebis creatus, a senatu descivit: populi +favorem profusis largitionibus sibi conciliavit; agros plebi dividebat; +provincias novis coloniis replebat. Cum autem tribuniciam potestatem +sibi prorogari vellet et palam dictitasset, interempto senatu omnia per +plebem agi debere, viam sibi ad regnum parare videbatur. Quare cum +convocati patres deliberarent quidnam faciendum esset, statim Tiberius +Capitolium petit, manum ad caput referens, quo signo salutem suam populo +commendabat. Hoc nobilitas ita accepit, quasi diadema posceret, +segniterque cessante consule, Scipio Nasica, cum esset consobrinus +Tiberii Gracchi, patriam cognationi praeferens sublata dextra +proclamavit: "Qui rem publicam salvam esse volunt, me sequantur!"

His Gracchi consiliis quanta poterant +contentione obsistebant omnes boni, in quibus maxime Piso, vir +consularis. Is cum multa contra legem frumentariam dixisset, lege tamen +lata ad frumentum cum ceteris accipiendum venit.

Cui Piso "Nolim quidem, Gracche" inquit, "mea bona +tibi viritim dividere liceat; sed si facies, partem petam." Quo responso +aperte declaravit vir gravis et sapiens lege, quam tulerat Gracchus, +patrimonium publicum dissipari. + +Decretum a senatu est ut videret consul Opimius ne quid detrimenti res +publica caperet: quod nisi in maximo discrimine decerni non solebat. +Gaius Gracchus, armata familia, Aventinum occupavit.

Modern scholars are divided in their + interpretations of the motives of the Gracchi. + 64.9: The reference is to the _ager pblicus_, or land gained in + conquest. It belonged in theory to the state, but the greater part + of it had fallen into the hands of wealthy capitalists, who, + though possessing no legal title to the land, yet regarded it as + their own, and resented any attempt to interfere with their + occupancy. Meanwhile, the number of small landholders was + constantly decreasing. These circumstances tended to drive numbers + of poor people to the cities, especially Rome. The universal + employment of slave labor aggravated the trouble by shutting the + poor out from honest labor. Tiberius attempted to remedy these + evils by limiting the number of acres of the public land which + might be held by any individual and by distributing the lands thus + redeemed among the poorer classes. + 64.10: These colonies were intended to aid in relieving the + distress at Rome by removing part of the population and supplying + such persons with lands. + 64.11: It was a general rule that no magistrate should hold the + same office for two successive terms. Thus no man could be + relected consul until ten years after the expiration of the first + term. When Tiberius, at the end of his year as tribune, presented + himself for relection, the aristocrats appealed to this rule. + Gracchus might have replied that the rule had often been set aside + under special circumstances. Still, on the whole, his conduct + seems to have been unconstitutional. + 65.1: This statement is probably wholly false. As the champions of + the poor against the rich, the Gracchi were hated by the + aristocrats, and received no favors at the hands of Roman + historians. + 65.2: #Hc . . . psceret#: 'The nobles interpreted this to mean + that he was demanding a kingly crown.' #psceret# is subjunctive + as giving in indirect discourse the thought of the nobles; cf. + p.3, n.6. + 65.3: 'although.' + 65.4: See Vocab., _equestris_ and _eques_. + 65.5: #dgere potuerat#: 'he might have spent.'

The distribution + was thus a constant drain upon the treasury. + 65.8: 'citizenship.' + 65.9: 'tried to give.' The imperfect tense, like the present, + often denotes attempted action; cf. _dvidbat_, l. 16, and + _commendbat_, l. 22.

Marius Gaetulos et Bocchum aggressus +fudit; castellum in excelsa ripa positum, ubi regii thesauri erant, non +sine multo labore expugnavit. Bocchus, bello defessus, legatos ad Marium +misit, pacem orantes. Sulla quaestor, a Mario ad regem remissus, Boccho +persuasit ut Iugurtham Romanis traderet. Iugurtha igitur vinctus ad +Marium deductus est; quem Marius triumphans ante currum egit et in +carcerem caenosum inclusit. Quo cum Iugurtha detracta veste +ingrederetur, os ridentis in modum diduxisse et stupens similisque +desipienti exclamasse fertur: "Pro! quam frigidum est vestrum balneum!" +Paucis diebus post in carcere necatus est. + +Marius post bellum Numidicum iterum consul creatus bellumque ei contra +Cimbros et Teutones decretum est. Hi novi hostes, ab extremis Germaniae +finibus profugi, novas sedes quaerebant, exclusique Gallia et Hispania +cum in Italiam remigrarent, a Romanis ut aliquid sibi terrae darent +petierunt. Repulsi, quod nequiverant precibus, armis petere constituunt. +Tres duces Romani impetus barbarorum non sustinuerunt. Omnes fugati, +exuti castris. Actum erat de imperio Romano, nisi Marius fuisset. Hic +primo Teutones sub ipsis Alpium radicibus adsecutus proelio oppressit. +Vallem fluviumque medium hostes tenebant: Romanis aquarum nulla copia. +Aucta necessitate virtus causa victoriae fuit. Nam flagitante aquam +exercitu Marius "Viri" inquit "estis, en illic aquam habetis." Itaque +tanto ardore pugnatum est eaque caedes hostium fuit, ut Romani victores +de cruento flumine non plus aquae biberent quam sanguinis barbarorum. +Caesa traduntur hostium ducenta milia, capta nonaginta. Rex ipse +Teutobochus in proximo saltu comprehensus insigne spectaculum triumphi +fuit: quippe vir proceritatis eximiae super tropaea ipsa eminebat. + +Deletis Teutonibus, C. Marius in Cimbros se convertit. Qui cum ex alia +parte Italiam ingressi Athesim flumen non ponte nec navibus, sed +iniectis arborum truncis, velut aggere, traiecissent, occurrit iis C. +Marius. Cimbri legatos ad consulem miserunt, agros urbesque sibi et +fratribus postulantes, Teutonum enim cladem ignorabant. Quaerente Mario +quos illi fratres dicerent, cum Teutones nominassent, ridens Marius +"Omittite" inquit "fratres; tenent hi acceptam a nobis terram +aeternumque tenebunt." Tum legati se ludibrio haberi sentientes ultionem +Mario minati sunt, simul atque Teutones advenissent. "Atqui adsunt" +inquit Marius "nec sane civile foret vos fratribus vestris non salutatis +discedere." Tum vinctos adduci iussit Teutonum duces, qui in proelio +capti erant. + +His rebus auditis, Cimbri egrediuntur castris et cum paucis suorum ad +vallum Romanum adequitans Boiorix, Cimbrorum dux, Marium ad pugnam +provocat et diem pugnae a Romanorum imperatore petit. Proximum dedit +consul. Marius cum aciem ita instituisset, ut pulvis in oculos et ora +hostium ferretur, incredibili strage prostrata est illa Cimbrorum +multitudo: caesa traduntur centum octoginta hominum milia. Nec minor cum +uxoribus pugna quam cum viris fuit, cum obiectis undique plaustris, +desuper, quasi e turribus, lanceis contisque pugnarent. Victae tamen cum +missa ad Marium legatione libertatem non impetrassent, suffocatis +elisisque infantibus suis aut mutuis conciderunt vulneribus aut vinculo +e crinibus suis facto ab arboribus pependerunt. Canes quoque defendere, +Cimbris caesis, eorum domos. Marius pro duobus triumphis, qui +offerebantur, uno contentus fuit. Primores civitatis, qui ei aliquamdiu +ut novo homini ad tantos honores evecto inviderant, conservatam ab eo +rem publicam fatebantur. In ipsa acie Marius duas Camertium cohortes, +mira virtute vim Cimbrorum sustinentes contra legem civitate donaverat. +Quod quidem factum et vere et egregie postea excusavit, dicens inter +armorum strepitum verba se iuris civilis exaudire non potuisse. + +Illa tempestate primum Romae bellum civile commotum est. Causam bello +dedit C. Marius. Cum enim Sulla consul contra Mithridatem, regem Ponti, +missus fuisset, Sulpicius, tribunus plebis, legem ad populum tulit ut +Sullae imperium abrogaretur, C. Mario bellum decerneretur Mithridaticum. +Qua re Sulla commotus cum exercitu ad urbem venit, eam armis occupavit, +Sulpicium interfecit, Marium fugavit. Marius hostes persequentes fugiens +aliquamdiu in palude delituit. Sed paulo post repertus extractusque, ut +erat nudo corpore caenoque oblitus, iniecto in collum loro Minturnas +raptus et in custodiam coniectus est. Missus est ad eum occidendum +servus publicus, natione Cimber, quem Marius vultus auctoritate +deterruit. Cum enim hominem ad se stricto gladio venientem vidisset +"Tune, homo," inquit "C.Marium audebis occidere?" Quo audito attonitus +ille ac tremens abiecto ferro fugit, Marium se non posse occidere +clamitans. Marius deinde ab iis, qui prius eum occidere voluerant, +ecarcere emissus est. + +Accepta navicula in Africam traiecit et in agrum Carthaginiensem +pervenit. Ibi cum in locis solitariis sederet, venit ad eum lictor +Sextilii praetoris, qui tum Africam obtinebat. Ab hoc, quem numquam +laesisset, Marius humanitatis tamen aliquod officium exspectabat; at +lictor decedere eum provincia iussit, nisi in se animadverti vellet: +torveque intuentem et vocem nullam emittentem Marium rogavit tandem +ecquid renuntiari praetori vellet? Marius "Abi" inquit, "nuntia vidisse +te Gaium Marium in Carthaginis ruinis sedentem." Duobus clarissimis +exemplis de inconstantia rerum humanarum eum admonebat, cum et urbis +maximae excidium et viri clarissimi casum ante oculos poneret. + +Profecto ad bellum Mithridaticum Sulla, Marius revocatus a Cinna in +Italiam rediit, efferatus magis calamitate quam domitus. Cum exercitu +Romam ingressus eam caedibus et rapinis vastavit; omnes adversae +factionis nobiles variis suppliciorum generibus adfecit: quinque dies +continuos totidemque noctes illa scelerum omnium duravit licentia. Hoc +tempore admiranda sane populi Romani abstinentia fuit. Cum enim Marius +occisorum domos multitudini diripiendas obiecisset, inveniri potuit +nemo, qui civili luctu praedam peteret: quae quidem tam misericors +continentia plebis tacita quaedam crudelium victorum vituperatio fuit. +Tandem Marius, senio et laboribus confectus, in morbum incidit et +ingenti omnium laetitia vitam finivit. Cuius viri si examinentur cum +virtutibus vitia, haud facile sit dictu utrum bello melior, an pace +perniciosior fuerit: namque quam rem publicam armatus servavit, eam +primo togatus omni genere fraudis, postremo armis hostiliter evertit. + +Erat Marius durior ad humanitatis studia et ingenuarum artium +contemptor. Cum aedem Honoris de manubiis hostium vovisset, spreta +peregrinorum marmorum nobilitate artificumque Graecorum arte, eam +vulgari lapide per artificem Romanum curavit aedificandam. Et Graecas +litteras despiciebat, quod doctoribus suis parum ad virtutem +profuissent. At idem fortis, validus, adversus dolorem confirmatus. Cum +ei varices in crure secarentur, vetuit se adligari.

Nihil autem ea victoria fuit +crudelius. Sulla, urbem ingressus et dictator creatus, vel in eos, qui +se sponte dediderant, iussit animadverti. Quattuor milia deditorum +inermium civium in Circo interfici iussit. Quis autem illos potest +computare, quos in urbe passim, quisquis voluit, occidit, donec +admoneret Fufidius quidam vivere aliquos debere, ut essent, quibus +imperaret. Novo et inaudito exemplo tabulam proscriptionis proposuit, +qua nomina eorum, qui occidendi essent, continebantur; cumque omnium +orta esset indignatio, postridie plura etiam adiecit nomina. Ingens +caesorum fuit multitudo. Nec solum in eos saevivit, qui armis contra se +dimicavissent, sed etiam quieti animi cives propter pecuniae +magnitudinem proscriptorum numero adiecit. Civis quidam innoxius, cui +fundus in agro Albano erat, cum legens proscriptorum nomina se quoque +videret ascriptum, "Vae" inquit "misero mihi! me fundus Albanus +persequitur." Neque longe progressus a quodam, qui eum agnoverat, +confossus est. + +Depulsis prostratisque inimicorum partibus Sulla Felicem se edicto +appellavit, cumque eius uxor geminos eodem tunc partu edidisset, puerum +Faustum puellamque Faustam nominari voluit. Sed paucis annis post +repente contra omnium exspectationem dictaturam deposuit. Dimissis +lictoribus diu in Foro cum amicis deambulavit. Stupebat populus eum +privatum videns, cuius modo tam formidolosa fuerat potestas; quodque non +minus mirandum fuit, privato ei non solum salus, sed etiam dignitas +constitit, qui cives innumeros occiderat. Unus adulescens fuit, qui +auderet queri et recedentem usque ad fores domus maledictis incessere. +Atque ille, cuius iram potentissimi viri maximaeque civitates nec +effugere nec placare potuerant, unius adulescentuli contumelias patienti +animo tulit, id tantum in limine iam dicens: "Hic adulescens efficiet ne +quis posthac tale imperium deponat." + +Sulla deinde in villam profectus rusticari et venando vitam agere +coepit. Ibi morbo correptus interiit, vir ingentis animi, cupidus +voluptatum, sed gloriae cupidior; litteris Graecis atque Latinis +eruditus et virorum litteratorum adeo amans, ut sedulitatem etiam mali +cuiusdam poetae aliquo praemio dignam duxerit: nam cum ille epigramma in +eum fecisset eique subiecisset, Sulla statim praemium ei dari iussit, +sed ea lege, ne quid postea scriberet. Ante victoriam laudandus, in iis +vero, quae secuta sunt, numquam satis vituperandus, urbem enim et +Italiam civilis sanguinis fluminibus inundavit. Non solum in vivos +saeviit, sed ne mortuis quidem pepercit: nam Gai Marii, cuius, etsi +postea hostis, aliquando tamen quaestor fuerat, erutos cineres in flumen +proiecit.

Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus# [[stripped text]] + +Gnaeus Pompeius, stirpis senatoriae, bello civili se et patrem consilio +servavit. Cum enim Pompei pater exercitui suo ob avaritiam esset +invisus, facta in eum conspiratione, Terentius quidam, Gnaei Pompei +filii contubernalis, hunc occidendum suscepit, dum alii tabernaculum +patris incenderent. Quae res cum iuveni Pompeio cenanti nuntiata esset, +nihil periculo motus solito hilarius bibit et cum Terentio eadem, qua +antea, comitate usus est. Deinde cubiculum ingressus clam subduxit se +tentorio et firmam patri circumdedit custodiam. Terentius tum destricto +ense ad lectum Pompei accessit multisque ictibus stragula percussit. +Orta mox seditione Pompeius se in media coniecit agmina, militesque +tumultuantes precibus et lacrimis placavit ac duci reconciliavit. + +Eodem bello Pompeius partes Sullae secutus ita se gessit ut ab eo maxime +diligeretur. Annos tres et viginti natus, ut Sullae auxilio veniret, +paterni exercitus reliquias conlegit, statimque dux peritus exstitit. +Magnus illius apud militem amor, magna apud omnes admiratio fuit; nullus +ei labor taedio, nulla defatigatio molestiae erat. Cibi vinique +temperans, somni parcus; inter milites corpus exercens cum alacribus +saltu, cum velocibus cursu, cum validis luctando certabat. Tum ad Sullam +iter intendit et in eo itinere tres hostium exercitus aut fudit aut sibi +adiunxit. Quem ubi Sulla ad se accedere audivit egregiamque sub signis +iuventutem aspexit, desiliit ex equo Pompeiumque salutavit imperatorem +et postea ei venienti solebat sella adsurgere et caput aperire et equo +descendere, quem honorem nemini nisi Pompeio tribuebat. + +Postea Pompeius in Siciliam profectus est, ut eam a Carbone, Sullae +inimico, occupatam reciperet. Carbo comprehensus et ad Pompeium ductus +est: quem Pompeius, etsi Carbo muliebriter mortem extimescens demisse et +flebiliter mortem deprecabatur, ad supplicium duci iussit. Longe +moderatior fuit Pompeius erga Sthenium, Siciliae cuiusdam civitatis +principem. Cum enim in eam civitatem animadvertere decrevisset, quae +sibi adversata fuisset, inique eum facturum Sthenius exclamavit, si ob +unius culpam omnes puniret. Interroganti Pompeio quisnam ille unus +esset, "Ego" inquit Sthenius "qui cives meos ad id induxi." Tam libera +voce delectatus Pompeius omnibus et Sthenio ipsi pepercit. + +Transgressus inde in Africam Iarbam, Numidiae regem, qui Marii partibus +favebat, bello persecutus intra dies quadraginta oppressit et Africam +subegit adulescens quattuor et viginti annorum. Deinde cum litterae ei a +Sulla redditae essent, quibus exercitu dimisso cum una legione +successorem exspectare iubebatur, Pompeius, quamquam aegre id ferebat, +tamen paruit et Romam revertit. Revertenti incredibilis hominum +multitudo obviam ivit; Sulla quoque laetus eum excepit et Magni +cognomine consalutavit. Nihilo minus Pompeio triumphum petenti restitit: +neque vero ea re a proposito deterritus est Pompeius aususque dicere +plures adorare solem orientem quam occidentem: quo dicto innuebat Sullae +potentiam minui, suam crescere. Ea voce audita Sulla, confidentia +adulescentis perculsus, "Triumphet! triumphet!" exclamavit. + +Metello iam seni et bellum in Hispania segnius gerenti conlega datus +Pompeius adversus Sertorium vario eventu dimicavit. Maximum ibi in +proelio quodam periculum subiit: cum enim vir vasta corporis magnitudine +impetum in eum fecisset, Pompeius manum amputavit; sed multis in eum +concurrentibus vulnus in femore accepit et a suis fugientibus desertus +in hostium potestate erat. At praeter spem evasit: barbari enim equum +eius auro phalerisque eximiis instructum ceperant. Dum igitur praedam +inter se altercantes partiuntur, Pompeius eorum manus effugit. Altero +proelio cum Metellus Pompeio laboranti auxilio venisset, Sertorius +recedere coactus dixisse fertur: "Nisi anus illa supervenisset, ego hunc +puerum verberibus castigatum Romam dimisissem." Metellum anum +appellabat, quia is, iam senex, ad mollem et effeminatam vitam +deflexerat. Sertorio interfecto Pompeius Hispaniam recepit. + +Cum piratae illa tempestate maria omnia infestarent et quasdam etiam +Italiae urbes diripuissent, ad eos opprimendos cum imperio +extraordinario missus est Pompeius. Nimiae viri potentiae obsistebant +quidam ex optimatibus et imprimis Quintus Catulus. Qui cum in contione +dixisset esse quidem praeclarum virum Cn. Pompeium, sed non esse uni +omnia tribuenda, adiecissetque: "Si quid huic acciderit, quem in eius +locum substituetis?" summo consensu succlamavit universa contio, "Te, +Quinte Catule." Tam honorifico civium testimonio victus Catulus e +contione discessit. Pompeius, dispositis per omnes maris recessus +navibus, brevi terrarum orbem illa peste liberavit; praedones multis +locis victos fudit; eosdem in deditionem acceptos in urbibus et agris +procul a mari conlocavit. Nihil hac victoria celerius, nam intra +quadragesimum diem piratas toto mari expulit. + +Confecto bello piratico, Gnaeus Pompeius contra Mithridatem profectus in +Asiam magna celeritate contendit. Proelium cum rege conserere cupiebat, +neque opportuna dabatur pugnandi facultas, quia Mithridates interdiu +castris se continebat, noctu vero haud tutum erat congredi cum hoste in +locis ignotis. Nocte tamen aliquando cum Pompeius Mithridatem aggressus +esset, luna magno fuit Romanis adiumento. Quam cum Romani a tergo +haberent, umbrae corporum longius proiectae ad primos usque hostium +ordines pertinebant, unde decepti regii milites in umbras, tamquam in +propinquum hostem, tela mittebant. Victus Mithridates in Pontum +profugit. Pharnaces filius bellum ei intulit, qui, occisis a patre +fratribus, vitae suae ipse timebat. Mithridates a filio obsessus venenum +sumpsit; quod cum tardius subiret, quia adversus venena multis antea +medicamentis corpus firmaverat, a milite Gallo, a quo ut adiuvaret se +petierat, interfectus est. + +Tigrani deinde, Armeniae regi, qui Mithridatis partes secutus erat, +Pompeius bellum intulit eumque ad deditionem compulit. Qui cum +procubuisset ad genua Pompei, eum erexit, et benignis verbis recreatum +diadema, quod abiecerat, capiti reponere iussit, aeque pulchrum esse +iudicans et vincere reges et facere. Inde in Iudaeam profectus Romanorum +primus Iudaeos domuit, Hierosolyma, caput gentis, cepit, templumque iure +victoriae ingressus est. Rebus Asiae compositis, in Italiam versus ad +urbem venit, non, ut plerique timuerant, armatus, sed dimisso exercitu, +et tertium triumphum biduo duxit. Insignis fuit multis novis +inusitatisque ornamentis hic triumphus; sed nihil inlustrius visum, quam +quod tribus triumphis tres orbis partes devictae causam praebuerant: +Pompeius enim, quod antea contigerat nemini, primum ex Africa, iterum ex +Europa, tertio ex Asia triumphavit, felix opinione hominum futurus, si, +quem gloriae, eundem vitae finem habuisset neque adversam fortunam esset +expertus iam senex. + +Posteriore enim tempore orta inter Pompeium et Caesarem gravi +dissensione, quod hic superiorem, ille parem ferre non posset, bellum +civile exarsit. Caesar infesto exercitu in Italiam venit. Pompeius, +relicta urbe ac deinde Italia ipsa, Thessaliam petit et cum eo consules +senatusque omnis: quem insecutus Caesar apud Pharsalum acie fudit. +Victus Pompeius ad Ptolemaeum, Aegypti regem, cui tutor a senatu datus +erat, profugit, qui Pompeium interfici iussit. Latus Pompei sub oculis +uxoris et liberorum mucrone confossum est, caput praecisum, truncus in +Nilum coniectus. Deinde caput cum anulo ad Caesarem delatum est, qui eo +viso lacrimas non continens illud multis pretiosissimisque odoribus +cremandum curavit. + +Is fuit Pompei post tres consulatus et totidem triumphos vitae exitus. +Erant in Pompeio multae et magnae virtutes ac praecipue admiranda +frugalitas. Cum ei aegrotanti praecepisset medicus ut turdum ederet, +negarent autem servi eam avem usquam aestivo tempore posse reperiri, +nisi apud Lucullum, qui turdos domi saginaret, vetuit Pompeius turdum +inde peti, medicoque dixit: "Ergo, nisi Lucullus perditus deliciis +esset, non viveret Pompeius?" Aliam avem, quae parabilis esset, sibi +iussit apponi. + +Viris doctis magnum honorem habebat Pompeius. Ex Syria decedens, +confecto bello Mithridatico, cum Rhodum venisset, Posidonium cupiit +audire; sed cum audivisset eum graviter esse aegrum, quod vehementer +eius artus laborarent, voluit tamen nobilissimum philosophum visere. Mos +erat ut, consule aedes aliquas ingressuro, lictor fores percuteret, +admonens consulem adesse, at Pompeius fores Posidonii percuti honoris +causa vetuit. Quem ut vidit et salutavit, moleste se dixit ferre, quod +eum non posset audire. At ille "Tu vero" inquit "potes, nec committam ut +dolor corporis efficiat ut frustra tantus vir ad me venerit." Itaque +cubans graviter et copiose de hoc ipso disputavit: nihil esse bonum nisi +quod honestum esset, nihil malum dici posse, quod turpe non esset. Cum +vero dolores acriter eum pungerent, saepe "Nihil agis," inquit "dolor! +quamvis sis molestus, numquam te esse malum confitebor." + + + #XXVI.

Iulius Caesar, nobilissima Iuliorum genitus familia, annum agens +sextum et decimum patrem amisit. Corneliam, Cinnae filiam, duxit uxorem; +cuius pater cum esset Sullae inimicissimus, is Caesarem voluit +compellere ut eam repudiaret; neque id potuit efficere. Qua re Caesar +bonis spoliatus cum etiam ad necem quaereretur, mutata veste nocte urbe +elapsus est et quamquam tunc quartanae morbo laborabat, prope per +singulas noctes latebras commutare cogebatur; et comprehensus a Sullae +liberto, ne ad Sullam perduceretur, vix data pecunia evasit. Postremo +per propinquos et adfines suos veniam impetravit. Satis constat Sullam, +cum deprecantibus amicissimis et ornatissimis viris aliquamdiu +denegasset atque illi pertinaciter contenderent, expugnatum tandem +proclamasse, vincerent, dummodo scirent eum, quem incolumem tanto opere +cuperent, aliquando optimatium partibus, quas secum simul defendissent, +exitio futurum; nam Caesari multos Marios inesse. + +Stipendia prima in Asia fecit. In expugnatione Mitylenarum corona civica +donatus est. Mortuo Sulla, Rhodum secedere statuit, ut per otium +Apollonio Moloni, tunc clarissimo dicendi magistro, operam daret. Huc +dum traicit, a praedonibus captus est mansitque apud eos prope +quadraginta dies. Per omne autem illud spatium ita se gessit, ut piratis +pariter terrori venerationique esset. Comites interim servosque ad +expediendas pecunias, quibus redimeretur, dimisit. Viginti talenta +piratae postulaverant: ille quinquaginta daturum se spopondit. Quibus +numeratis cum expositus esset in litore, confestim Miletum, quae urbs +proxime aberat, properavit ibique contracta classe invectus in eum +locum, in quo ipsi praedones erant, partem classis fugavit, partem +mersit, aliquot naves cepit piratasque in potestatem redactos eo +supplicio, quod illis saepe minatus inter iocum erat, adfecit crucique +suffixit. + +Quaestori ulterior Hispania obvenit. Quo profectus cum Alpes transiret +et ad conspectum pauperis cuiusdam vici comites per iocum inter se +disputarent num illic etiam esset ambitioni locus, serio dixit Caesar +malle se ibi primum esse, quam Romae secundum. Dominationis avidus +aprima aetate regnum concupiscebat semperque in ore habebat hos +Euripidis, Graeci poetae, versus: + + Nam si violandum est ius, regnandi gratia + Violandum est. Aliis rebus pietatem colas. + +Cumque Gades, quod est Hispaniae oppidum, venisset, animadversa apud +Herculis templum magni Alexandri imagine ingemuit et quasi pertaesus +ignaviam suam, quod nihildum a se memorabile actum esset in ea aetate, +qua iam Alexander orbem terrarum subegisset, missionem continuo +efflagitavit ad captandas quam primum maiorum rerum occasiones in urbe. + +Aedilis praeter comitium ac Forum etiam Capitolium ornavit porticibus. +Venationes autem ludosque et cum conlega M. Bibulo et separatim edidit: +quo factum est ut communium quoque impensarum solus gratiam caperet. His +autem rebus patrimonium effudit tantumque conflavit aes alienum, ut ipse +diceret sibi opus esse millies sestertium, ut haberet nihil. + +Consul deinde creatus cum M. Bibulo, societatem cum Gnaeo Pompeio et +Marco Crasso iunxit Caesar, ne quid ageretur in re publica, quod +displicuisset ulli ex tribus. Deinde legem tulit ut ager Campanus plebi +divideretur. Cui legi cum senatus repugnaret, rem ad populum detulit. +Bibulus conlega in Forum venit, ut legi obsisteret, sed tanta in eum +commota est seditio, ut in caput eius cophinus stercore plenus +effunderetur fascesque ei frangerentur atque adeo ipse armis Foro +expelleretur. Qua re cum Bibulus per reliquum anni tempus domo abditus +Curia abstineret, unus ex eo tempore Caesar omnia in re publica ad +arbitrium administrabat, ut nonnulli urbanorum, si quid testandi gratia +signarent, per iocum non, ut mos erat, 'consulibus Caesare et +Bibulo' actum scriberent, sed 'Iulio et Caesare,' unum consulem nomine +et cognomine pro duobus appellantes. + +Functus consulatu Caesar Galliam provinciam accepit. Gessit autem novem +annis, quibus in imperio fuit, haec fere: Galliam in provinciae formam +redegit; Germanos, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, primus Romanorum ponte +fabricato aggressus maximis adfecit cladibus. Aggressus est Britannos, +ignotos antea, superatisque pecunias et obsides imperavit. Hic cum multa +Romanorum militum insignia narrantur, tum illud egregium ipsius +Caesaris, quod, nutante in fugam exercitu, rapto fugientis e manu scuto +in primam volitans aciem proelium restituit. Idem alio proelio legionis +aquiliferum ineundae fugae causa iam conversum faucibus comprehensum in +contrariam partem detraxit dextramque ad hostem tendens "Quorsum tu" +inquit "abis? Illic sunt, cum quibus dimicamus." Qua adhortatione omnium +legionum trepidationem correxit vincique paratas vincere docuit. + +Interfecto interea apud Parthos Crasso et defuncta Iulia, Caesaris +filia, quae, nupta Pompeio, generi socerique concordiam tenebat, statim +aemulatio erupit. Iam pridem Pompeio suspectae Caesaris opes et Caesari +Pompeiana dignitas gravis, nec hic ferebat parem, nec ille superiorem. +Itaque cum Caesar in Gallia detineretur, et, ne imperfecto bello +discederet, postulasset ut sibi liceret, quamvis absenti, alterum +consulatum petere, a senatu, suadentibus Pompeio eiusque amicis, negatum +ei est. Hanc iniuriam acceptam vindicaturus in Italiam rediit et +bellandum ratus cum exercitu Rubiconem flumen, qui provinciae eius finis +erat, transiit. Hoc ad flumen paulum constitisse fertur ac reputans +quantum moliretur, conversus ad proximos, "Etiamnunc" inquit "regredi +possumus; quod si ponticulum transierimus, omnia armis agenda erunt." +Postremo autem "Iacta alea esto!" exclamans exercitum traici iussit +plurimisque urbibus occupatis Brundisium contendit, quo Pompeius +consulesque confugerant. + +Qui cum inde in Epirum traiecissent, Caesar, eos secutus a Brundisio, +Dyrrachium inter oppositas classes gravissima hieme transmisit; +copiisque quas subsequi iusserat diutius cessantibus, cum ad eas +arcessendas frustra misisset, mirae audaciae facinus edidit. Morae enim +impatiens castris noctu egreditur, clam naviculam conscendit, obvoluto +capite, ne agnosceretur, et quamquam mare saeva tempestate intumescebat, +in altum tamen protinus dirigi navigium iubet et, gubernatore +trepidante, "Quid times?" inquit "Caesarem vehis!" neque prius +gubernatorem cedere adversae tempestati passus est, quam paene obrutus +esset fluctibus. + +Deinde Caesar in Epirum profectus Pompeium Pharsalico proelio fudit, et +fugientem persecutus, ut occisum cognovit, Ptolemaeo regi, Pompeii +interfectori, a quo sibi quoque insidias tendi videret, bellum intulit; +quo victo in Pontum transiit Pharnacemque, Mithridatis filium, +rebellantem et multiplici successu praeferocem intra quintum ab adventu +diem, quattuor, quibus in conspectum venit, horis una profligavit acie, +more fulminis, quod uno eodemque momento venit, percussit, abscessit. +Nec vana de se praedicatio est Caesaris ante victum hostem esse quam +visum. Pontico postea triumpho trium verborum praetulit titulum: "Veni, +vidi, vici." Deinde Scipionem et Iubam, Numidiae regem, reliquias +Pompeianarum partium in Africa refoventes, devicit. + +Victorem Africani belli Gaium Caesarem gravius excepit Hispaniense, quod +Cn. Pompeius, Magni filius, adulescens fortissimus, ingens ac terribile +conflaverat, undique ad eum auxiliis paterni nominis magnitudinem +sequentium ex toto orbe confluentibus. Sua Caesarem in Hispaniam +comitata fortuna est: sed nullum umquam atrocius periculosiusque ab eo +initum proelium, adeo ut, plus quam dubio Marte, descenderet equo +consistensque ante recedentem suorum aciem increpans fortunam, quod se +in eum servasset exitum, denuntiaret militibus vestigio se non +recessurum; proinde viderent, quem et quo loco imperatorem deserturi +essent. Verecundia magis quam virtute acies restituta est. Cn. Pompeius +victus et interemptus est. Caesar, omnium victor, regressus in urbem +omnibus, qui contra se arma tulerant, ignovit et quinquies triumphavit. + +Bellis civilibus confectis, conversus iam ad ordinandum rei publicae +statum fastos correxit annumque ad cursum solis accommodavit, ut +trecentorum sexaginta quinque dierum esset et, intercalario mense +sublato, unus dies quarto quoque anno intercalaretur. Ius laboriosissime +ac severissime dixit. Repetundarum convictos etiam ordine senatorio +movit. Peregrinarum mercium portoria instituit: legem praecipue +sumptuariam exercuit. De ornanda instruendaque urbe, item de tuendo +ampliandoque imperio plura ac maiora in dies destinabat: imprimis ius +civile ad certum modum redigere atque ex immensa legum copia optima +quaeque et necessaria in paucissimos conferre libros; bibliothecas +Graecas et Latinas, quas maximas posset, publicare; siccare Pomptinas +paludes: viam munire a Mari Supero per Apennini dorsum ad Tiberim usque: +Dacos, qui se in Pontum effuderant, coercere: mox Parthis bellum inferre +per Armeniam. + +Haec et alia agentem et meditantem mors praevenit. Dictator enim in +perpetuum creatus agere insolentius coepit: senatum ad se venientem +sedens excepit et quendam, ut adsurgeret monentem, irato vultu respexit. +Cum Antonius, Caesaris in omnibus bellis comes et tunc consulatus +conlega, capiti eius in sella aurea sedentis pro rostris diadema, +insigne regium, imposuisset, id ita ab eo est repulsum, ut non offensus +videretur. Quare coniuratum in eum est a sexaginta amplius viris, Cassio +et Bruto ducibus conspirationis, decretumque eum Idibus Martiis in +senatu confodere. + +Plurima indicia futuri periculi obtulerant dii immortales. Uxor +Calpurnia, territa nocturno visu, ut Idibus Martiis domi subsisteret +orabat et Spurinna haruspex praedixerat ut proximos dies triginta quasi +fatales caveret, quorum ultimus erat Idus Martiae. Hoc igitur die Caesar +Spurinnae "Ecquid scis" inquit "Idus Martias iam venisse?" et is "Ecquid +scis illas nondum praeterisse?" Atque cum Caesar eo die in senatum +venisset, adsidentem conspirati specie officii circumsteterunt ilicoque +unus, quasi aliquid rogaturus, propius accessit renuentique ab utroque +umero togam apprehendit. Deinde clamantem "Ista quidem vis est!" Casca, +unus e coniuratis, adversum vulnerat paulum infra iugulum. Caesar Cascae +bracchium adreptum graphio traiecit conatusque prosilire alio vulnere +tardatus est. Dein ut animadvertit undique se strictis pugionibus peti, +toga caput obvolvit et ita tribus et viginti plagis confossus est. Cum +Marcum Brutum, quem filii loco habebat in se inruentem vidisset, dixisse +fertur: "Tu quoque, mi fili!" + +Illud inter omnes fere constitit talem ei mortem paene ex sententia +obtigisse. Nam et quondam cum apud Xenophontem legisset Cyrum ultima +valetudine mandasse quaedam de funere suo, aspernatus tam lentum mortis +genus subitam sibi celeremque optaverat, et pridie quam occideretur, in +sermone nato super cenam quisnam esset finis vitae commodissimus, +repentinum inopinatumque praetulerat. Percussorum autem neque triennio +quisquam amplius supervixit neque sua morte defunctus est. Damnati omnes +alius alio casu perierunt, pars naufragio, pars proelio; nonnulli semet +eodem illo pugione, quo Caesarem violaverant, interemerunt. + +Quo rarior in regibus et principibus viris moderatio, hoc laudanda magis +est. C. Iulius Caesar victoria civili clementissime usus est; cum enim +scrinia deprehendisset epistularum ad Pompeium missarum ab iis, qui +videbantur aut in diversis aut in neutris fuisse partibus, legere +noluit, sed combussit, ne forte in multos gravius consulendi locum +darent. Cicero hanc laudem eximiam Caesari tribuit, quod nihil oblivisci +soleret nisi iniurias. Simultates omnes, occasione oblata, libens +deposuit. Ultro ac prior scripsit C. Calvo post famosa eius adversum se +epigrammata. Valerium Catullum, cuius versiculis famam suam laceratam +non ignorabat, adhibuit cenae. C. Memmii suffragator in petitione +consulatus fuit, etsi asperrimas fuisse eius in se orationes sciebat. + +Fuisse traditur excelsa statura, ore paulo pleniore, nigris vegetisque +oculis, capite calvo; quam calvitii deformitatem, quod saepe +obtrectatorum iocis obnoxia erat, aegre ferebat. Ideo ex omnibus +decretis sibi a senatu populoque honoribus non alium aut recepit aut +usurpavit libentius quam ius laureae perpetuo gestandae. Vini +parcissimum eum fuisse ne inimici quidem negaverunt. Verbum Catonis est +unum ex omnibus Caesarem ad evertendam rem publicam sobrium accessisse. +Armorum et equitandi peritissimus, laboris ultra fidem patiens; in +agmine nonnumquam equo, saepius pedibus anteibat, capite detecto, seu +sol, seu imber erat. Longissimas vias incredibili celeritate +conficiebat, ut persaepe nuntios de se praeveniret: neque eum morabantur +flumina, quae vel nando vel innixus inflatis utribus traiciebat. + + + #XXVII.

Cf. also Longfellow's _Courtship of Miles + Standish_,II. + 89.10: #iam conversum# = _qu iam conversus erat_. + 89.11: #comprehnsum . . . dtrxit# = _comprehendit et ... + dtrxit_. + 90.1: 'preserved.' + 90.2: Sc. _erant_; also _erat_ with #gravis#. Through the + influence of #iam prdem# both verbs have the force of Eng. + pluperfects: H535, 1 (469,2): M738: A277, _b_: G234: + B260,4. + 90.3: Point out the chiasmus (p. 21, n. 15) in #Caesaris ... + superirem#. + 90.4: The law required a candidate to give notice of his candidacy + in person at Rome within seventeen days of the election. Caesar + desired to stand for the consulship in 49 B.C. + 90.5: Cf. p. xviii, E 5. + 90.6: #bellandum# (sc. _esse_): an impersonal passive: 'that war + was necessary.' + 90.7: #qu . . . erat#: this river also formed the boundary + between Italy proper and Cisalpine Gaul; hence by crossing it + Caesar put himself in a position of open hostility to the + government. + 90.8: = _per_, 'through the midst of.' + 90.9: #cpis . . . cssantibus#: causal abl. abs.: 'when, because + his forces ... tarried too long, he had sent,' etc. + 91.1: Cf. p. xx, G 4. + 91.2: abl. both of cause and means.

The infinitive + #vsum# (_esse_) is due to attraction of the neighboring + infinitive #victum esse#. + 91.6: #Pontic . . . triumph#: i.e. the procession in which he + celebrated his victory in Pontus. #triumph# is dat. with + #praetulit#. + 91.7: Q.

Cf. _volentibus_, XIII, 97. + 92.1: 'His own,' i.e. his usual. + 92.2: #pls . . . Mrte#: 'since the battle was more than + doubtful.' The battle was fought at Munda, 45 B.C. + 92.3: Cf. p. 63, n. 5. + 92.4: = _qulem_. So #qu# = _qul_. + 92.5: #fsts corrxit#: In III, 22, it is stated that Numa + divided the year into twelve months according to the course of the + moon. This year contained only 355 days. In order, therefore, to + make the months coincide with the seasons to which they belong, + Numa ordered that every two years an extra month, called a _mnsis + intercalris_, should be added. These intercalary months were + inserted after February 23d, and contained alternately 22 and 23 + days. This arrangement made the average length of the year 366-1/4 + days. Afurther cause of confusion was the fact that the + Pontifices, who had charge of the calendar, often, for political + reasons, omitted the intercalary month. In Caesar's time the error + amounted to about three months. The calendar arranged by him is + almost identical with that in use to-day. + 92.6: from _quisque_: 'each,' 'every.' + 92.7: Sc. _rrum_. _rs repetundae_ was a technical term for + 'extortion.' For the gen., see p.36, n.8. + 92.8: A _lx sumpturia_ was a law regulating the sums of money + which might be spent for various purposes. Caesar attempted + especially to check extravagance in dress and at banquets. + 92.9: The infinitives in lines 146-151 are used because the + clauses in which they stand are in apposition to _plra ac + mira_, l. 144. See p.86, n.5. + 93.1: #qus . . . pblicre#: 'to throw open to the public as + large libraries as possible.' + 93.2: The celebrated Mark Antony. + 93.3: # . . . virs#: 'by more than sixty men.' For the case of + #virs#, see p.10, n.18. + 93.4: 'had warned him,' _not_ 'had predicted': hence it may be + construed with a substantive clause of purpose (#ut... + cavret#) as its object. + 93.5: #speci offici#: 'under pretense of doing him honor.' Cf. + _per speciem vnand_, XIX,60. + 93.6: Sc. _e_: dat. of interest. + 93.7: 'by'; cf. p. 11, n. 10. + 93.8: #adversum# (sc. _eum_) #vulnerat#: 'wounds him in front.' + The wound was in the shoulder. For #adversum# as = an adverbial + phrase, cf. p.4, n.4. + 94.1: 'assailed.' + 94.2: _obting_. + 95.1: #su morte#: 'a natural death'; an ablative of manner. + 95.2: #Qu rrior . . . hc laudanda magis#: 'The rarer ... the + more praiseworthy.' #Qu# and #hc# are ablative of the degree of + difference (avariety of the ablative of means): cf. p.39, n.12. + 95.3: i.e. over his fellow-citizens. + 95.4: #qu . . . partibus#: 'who had apparently belonged,' etc. + How literally?

Marcus Tullius Cicero# [[stripped text]] + +Marcus Tullius Cicero, equestri genere, Arpini, quod est Volscorum +oppidum, natus est. Ex eius avis unus verrucam in extremo naso sitam +habuit, ciceris grano similem; inde cognomen Ciceronis genti inditum. +Suadentibus quibusdam ut id nomen mutaret, "Dabo operam" inquit "ut +istud cognomen nobilissimorum nominum splendorem vincat." Cum a patre +Romam missus, ubi celeberrimorum magistrorum scholis interesset, eas +artes disceret, quibus aetas puerilis ad humanitatem solet informari, +tanto successu tantaque cum praeceptorum tum ceterorum discipulorum +admiratione id fecit, ut, cum fama de Ciceronis ingenio et doctrina ad +alios manasset, non pauci, qui eius videndi et audiendi gratia scholas +adirent, reperti esse dicantur. + +Cum nulla re magis ad summos in re publica honores viam muniri posse +intellegeret quam arte dicendi et eloquentia, toto animo in eius studium +incubuit, in quo quidem ita versatus est, ut non solum eos, qui in Foro +et iudiciis causas perorarent, studiose sectaretur, sed privatim quoque +diligentissime se exerceret. Primum eloquentiam et libertatem adversus +Sullanos ostendit. Nam cum Roscium quendam, parricidii accusatum, ob +Chrysogoni, Sullae liberti, qui in eius adversariis erat, potentiam nemo +defendere auderet, tanta eloquentiae vi eum defendit Cicero, ut iam tum +in arte dicendi nullus ei par esse videretur. Ex quo invidiam veritus +Athenas studiorum gratia petiit, ubi Antiochum philosophum studiose +audivit. Inde eloquentiae causa Rhodum se contulit, ubi Molonem, Graecum +rhetorem tum disertissimum, magistrum habuit. Qui cum Ciceronem dicentem +audivisset, flevisse dicitur, quod per hunc Graecia eloquentiae laude +privaretur. + +Romam reversus quaestor Siciliam habuit. Nullius vero quaestura aut +gratior aut clarior fuit; cum magna tum esset annonae difficultas, +initio molestus erat Siculis, quos cogeret frumenta in urbem mittere; +postea vero, diligentiam et iustitiam et comitatem eius experti, maiores +quaestori suo honores quam ulli umquam praetori detulerunt. E Sicilia +reversus Romam in causis dicendis ita floruit, ut inter omnes causarum +patronos et esset et haberetur princeps. + +Consul deinde factus L. Sergii Catilinae coniurationem singulari +virtute, constantia, cura compressit. Catilinae proavum, M. Sergium, +incredibili fortitudine fuisse Plinius refert. Stipendia is fecit +secundo bello Punico. Secundo stipendio dextram manum perdidit: +stipendiis duobus ter et vicies vulneratus est: ob id neutra manu, +neutro pede satis utilis, plurimisque postea stipendiis debilis miles +erat. Bis ab Hannibale captus, bis vinculorum eius profugus, viginti +mensibus nullo non die in catenis aut compedibus custoditus. Sinistra +manu sola quater pugnavit, duobus equis, insidente eo, suffossis. +Dextram sibi ferream fecit eaque religata proeliatus Cremonam obsidione +exemit, Placentiam tutatus est, duodena castra hostium in Gallia cepit. +Ceteri profecto, Plinius addit, victores hominum fuere, Sergius vicit +etiam fortunam. + +Singularem huius viri gloriam foede dehonestavit pronepotis scelus. Hic +enim rei familiaris, quam profuderat, inopia multorumque scelerum +conscientia in furorem actus et dominandi cupiditate incensus +indignatusque, quod in petitione consulatus repulsam passus esset, +coniuratione facta senatum confodere, consules trucidare, urbem +incendere, diripere aerarium constituerat. Actum erat de pulcherrimo +imperio, nisi illa coniuratio in Ciceronem et Antonium consules +incidisset, quorum alter industria rem patefecit, alter manu oppressit. +Cum Cicero, habito senatu, in praesentem reum perorasset, Catilina, +incendium suum ruina se restincturum esse minitans, Roma profugit et ad +exercitum, quem paraverat, proficiscitur, signa inlaturus urbi. Sed +socii eius, qui in urbe remanserant, comprehensi in carcere necati sunt. +A. Fulvius, vir senatorii ordinis, filium, iuvenem et ingenio et forma +inter aequales nitentem, pravo consilio Catilinae amicitiam secutum +inque castra eius ruentem, ex medio itinere retractum supplicio mortis +adfecit, praefatus non se Catilinae illum adversus patriam, sed patriae +adversus Catilinam genuisse. + +Neque eo magis ab incepto Catilina destitit, sed infestis signis Romam +petens Antonii exercitu opprimitur. Quam atrociter dimicatum sit exitus +docuit: nemo hostium bello superfuit; quem quisque in pugnando ceperat +locum, eum amissa anima tegebat. Catilina longe a suis inter hostium +cadavera repertus est: pulcherrima morte, si pro patria sic concidisset! +Senatus populusque Romanus Ciceronem patrem patriae appellavit. Cicero +ipse in oratione pro Sulla palam praedicat consilium patriae servandae +fuisse iniectum sibi a diis, cum Catilina coniurasset adversus eam. +"Odii immortales," inquit "vos profecto incendistis tum animum meum +cupiditate conservandae patriae. Vos avocastis me a cogitationibus +omnibus ceteris et convertistis ad salutem unam patriae. Vos denique +praetulistis menti meae clarissimum lumen in tenebris tantis erroris et +inscientiae. Tribuam enim vobis, quae sunt vestra. Nec vero possum +tantum dare ingenio meo, ut dispexerim sponte mea in tempestate illa +turbulentissima rei publicae, quid esset optimum factu." + +Paucis post annis Ciceroni diem dixit Clodius tribunus plebis, quod +cives Romanos indicta causa necavisset. Senatus maestus, tamquam in +publico luctu, veste mutata pro eo deprecabatur. Cicero, cum posset +armis salutem suam defendere, maluit urbe cedere quam sua causa caedem +fieri. Proficiscentem omnes boni flentes prosecuti sunt. Dein Clodius +edictum proposuit ut Marco Tullio igni et aqua interdiceretur: illius +domum et villas incendit. Sed vis illa non diuturna fuit, mox enim totus +fere populus Romanus ingenti desiderio Ciceronis reditum flagitare +coepit et maximo omnium ordinum studio Cicero in patriam revocatus est. +Nihil per totam vitam Ciceroni itinere, quo in patriam rediit, accidit +iucundius. Obviam ei redeunti ab universis itum est: domus eius publica +pecunia restituta est. + +Gravissimae illa tempestate inter Caesarem et Pompeium ortae sunt +inimicitiae, ut res nisi bello dirimi non posse videretur. Cicero quidem +summo studio enitebatur ut eos inter se reconciliaret et a belli civilis +calamitatibus deterreret, sed cum neutrum ad pacem ineundam permovere +posset, Pompeium secutus est. Sed victo Pompeio, a Caesare victore +veniam ultro accepit. Quo interfecto Octavianum, Caesaris heredem, +fovit, Antonium impugnavit effecitque ut a senatu hostis iudicaretur. + +Sed Antonius, inita cum Octaviano societate, Ciceronem iam diu sibi +inimicum proscripsit. Qua re audita, Cicero transversis itineribus in +villam, quae a mari proxime aberat, fugit indeque navem conscendit, in +Macedoniam transiturus. Unde aliquotiens in altum provectum cum modo +venti adversi rettulissent, modo ipse iactationem maris pati non posset, +taedium tandem eum et fugae et vitae cepit regressusque ad villam +"Moriar" inquit "in patria saepe servata." Satis constat, adventantibus +percussoribus, servos fortiter fideliterque paratos fuisse ad +dimicandum, ipsum deponi lecticam et quietos pati, quod sors iniqua +cogeret, iussisse. Prominenti ex lectica et immotam cervicem praebenti +caput praecisum est. Manus quoque abscissae; caput relatum est ad +Antonium eiusque iussu cum dextra manu in rostris positum. + +Quamdiu res publica Romana per eos gerebatur, quibus se ipsa commiserat, +in eam curas cogitationesque fere omnes suas conferebat Cicero et plus +operae ponebat in agendo quam in scribendo. Cum autem dominatu unius +C.Iulii Caesaris omnia tenerentur, non se angoribus dedidit nec +indignis homine docto voluptatibus. Fugiens conspectum Fori urbisque +rura peragrabat abdebatque se, quantum licebat, et solus erat. Nihil +agere autem cum animus non posset, existimavit honestissime molestias +posse deponi, si se ad philosophiam rettulisset, cui adulescens multum +temporis tribuerat, et omne studium curamque convertit ad scribendum: +atque ut civibus etiam otiosus aliquid prodesse posset, elaboravit ut +doctiores fierent et sapientiores, pluraque brevi tempore, eversa re +publica, scripsit, quam multis annis ea stante scripserat. Sic facundiae +et Latinarum litterarum parens evasit paruitque virorum sapientium +praecepto, qui docent non solum ex malis eligere minima oportere, sed +etiam excerpere ex his ipsis, si quid insit boni. + +Multa exstant facete ab eo dicta. Cum Lentulum, generum suum, exiguae +staturae hominem, vidisset longo gladio accinctum, "Quis" inquit +"generum meum ad gladium adligavit?"--Matrona quaedam iuniorem se, quam +erat, simulans dictitabat se triginta tantum annos habere; cui Cicero +"Verum est," inquit "nam hoc viginti annos audio."--Caesar, altero +consule mortuo die Decembris ultima, Caninium consulem hora septima in +reliquam diei partem renuntiaverat; quem cum plerique irent salutatum de +more, "Festinemus" inquit Cicero "priusquam abeat magistratu." De eodem +Caninio scripsit Cicero: "Fuit mirifica vigilantia Caninius, qui toto +suo consulatu somnum non viderit." + + + #XXVIII.

Octavianus Caesar Augustus# [[stripped text]] + +Octavianus, Iuliae, Gai Caesaris sororis, nepos, quartum annum agens +patrem amisit. Ab avunculo adoptatus profectum eum in Hispanias adversus +Gnaei Pompei liberos secutus est. Deinde ab eo Apolloniam missus studiis +vacavit. Utque primum occisum Caesarem heredemque se comperit, in urbem +regressus hereditatem adiit, nomen Caesaris sumpsit conlectoque +veteranorum exercitu opem Decimo Bruto tulit, qui ab Antonio Mutinae +obsidebatur. Cum autem urbis aditu prohiberetur, ut Brutum de omnibus +rebus certiorem faceret, primo litteras misit plumbeis laminis +inscriptas, quas ad bracchium religatas urinatores Scultennam amnem +transnantes ad Brutum deferebant. Quin et avibus internuntiis utebatur. +Columbis enim, quas inclusas ante fame adfecerat, epistulas ad collum +religabat easque a proximo moenibus loco emittebat. Illae, lucis cibique +avidae, altissima aedificiorum petentes excipiebantur a Decimo Bruto, +qui eo modo de omnibus rebus certior fiebat, utique postquam disposito +quibusdam locis cibo columbas illuc devolare instituerat. + +Bellum Mutinense Octavianus duobus proeliis confecit, quorum in altero +non ducis modo, sed militis etiam functus est officio atque in media +dimicatione, aquilifero legionis suae graviter saucio, aquilam umeris +subisse diuque fertur portasse. Postea reconciliata cum Antonio +gratiaiunctisque cum eo copiis, ut Gai Caesaris necem ulcisceretur, ad +urbem hostiliter accessit misitque qui nomine exercitus sibi consulatum +deposcerent. Cunctante senatu centurio, princeps legationis, reiecto +sagulo, ostendens gladii capulum non dubitavit in Curia dicere: "Hic +faciet, si vos non feceritis." + +Ita cum Octavianus vicesimo aetatis anno consulatum invasisset, pacem +fecit cum Antonio et Lepido, ita ut triumviri rei publicae constituendae +per quinquennium essent ipse et Lepidus et Antonius, et ut suos quisque +inimicos proscriberent. Quae proscriptio Sullana longe crudelior fuit. +Exstant autem ex ea multa vel extremae impietatis vel mirae fidei ac +constantiae exempla. T. Toranius, triumvirorum partes secutus, +proscripti patris sui, praetorii et ornati viri, latebras, aetatem +notasque corporis, quibus agnosci posset, centurionibus edidit, qui eum +persecuti sunt. Alius quidam cum proscriptum se cognovisset, ad clientem +suum confugit; sed filius eius per ipsa vestigia patris militibus ductis +occidendum eum in conspectu suo obiecit. + +Cum C. Plotius Plancus a triumviris proscriptus in regione Salernitana +lateret, servi eius, comprehensi multumque ac diu torti, negabant se +scire ubi dominus esset. Non sustinuit deinde Plancus tam fideles tamque +boni exempli servos ulterius cruciari; sed processit in medium +iugulumque gladiis militum obiecit. Senatoris cuiusdam servus cum ad +dominum proscriptum occidendum milites advenisse cognosset, commutata +cum eo veste, permutato etiam anulo, illum postico clam emisit, se autem +in cubiculum ad lectulum recepit et ut dominum occidi passus est. +"Quanti viri est" addit Seneca, "cum praemia proditionis ingentia +ostendantur, praemium fidei mortem concupiscere!" + +Octavianus deinde M. Brutum, interfectorem Caesaris, bello persecutus id +bellum, quamquam invalidus atque aeger, duplici proelio transegit; +quorum priore castris exutus vix fuga evasit. Victor acerbissime se +gessit: in nobilissimum quemque captivum non sine verborum contumelia +saeviit. Uni suppliciter sepulturam precanti respondisse dicitur iam +istam in volucrum fore potestate. Alios, patrem et filium, pro vita +rogantes sortiri fertur iussisse ut alterutri concederetur, ac cum, +patre quia se obtulerat occiso, filius quoque voluntaria occubuisset +nece, spectasse utrumque morientem. Orare veniam vel excusare se +conantibus, una voce occurrebat moriendum esse. Scribunt quidam +trecentos ex dediticiis electos ad aram divo Iulio exstructam Idibus +Martiis hostiarum more mactatos. + +Abalienatus postea est ab Antonio, quod is, repudiata Octavia sorore, +Cleopatram, Aegypti reginam, duxisset uxorem: quae quidem mulier cum +Antonio luxu et deliciis certabat. Una se cena centies sestertium +absumpturam aliquando dixerat. Cupiebat discere Antonius, sed fieri +posse non arbitrabatur. Postero igitur die magnificam alias cenam, sed +cottidianam Antonio apposuit inridenti, quod promisso stare non +potuisset. At illa inferri mensam secundam iussit. Ex praecepto ministri +unum tantum vas ante eam posuere aceti, cuius asperitas visque +margaritas resolvit. Exspectante igitur Antonio quidnam esset actura, +margaritam, quam auribus gerebat, detraxit et aceto liquefactam +absorbuit. Victum Antonium omnes, qui aderant, pronuntiaverunt. + +Octavianus cum Antonio apud Actium, qui locus est in Epiro, navali +proelio dimicavit. Victum et fugientem persecutus Aegyptum petiit, et +Alexandream, quo Antonius cum Cleopatra confugerat, obsedit. Antonius in +ultima rerum desperatione, cum habitu regis in solio regali sedisset, +mortem sibi ipse conscivit. Cleopatra, quam Octavianus, Alexandrea in +potestatem redacta, magno opere cupiebat vivam comprehendi triumphoque +servari, aspidem sibi adferendam curavit eiusque morsu periit. +Cleopatrae mortuae communem cum Antonio sepulturam tribuit. + +Tandem Octavianus, hostibus victis solus imperio potitus, clementem se +exhibuit. Omnia deinceps in eo plena mansuetudinis et humanitatis. +Multis ignovit vel iis qui saepe graviter eum offenderant. Reversus in +Italiam triumphans Romam ingressus est. Tum bellis toto orbe compositis +Iani gemini portas sua manu clausit, quae bis tantum antea clausae +fuerant, primum sub Numa rege, iterum post primum Punicum bellum. Tunc +omnes praeteritorum malorum oblivio cepit populusque Romanus praesentis +otii laetitia perfruebatur. Octaviano maximi honores a senatu delati +sunt. Ipse Augustus cognominatus et in honorem eius mensis Sextilis +eodem nomine appellatus est, quod illo mense bellis civilibus finis +esset impositus. Patris patriae cognomen universi maximo consensu +detulerunt ei. Deferentibus lacrimans respondit Augustus his verbis: +"Compos factus votorum meorum, patres conscripti, quid habeo aliud, quod +deos immortales precer, quam ut hunc consensum vestrum ad ultimum vitae +finem mihi perferre liceat!" + +Dictaturam magna vi offerente populo deprecatus est. Domini +appellationem semper exhorruit eamque sibi tribui edicto vetuit. Immo de +restituenda re publica non semel cogitavit, sed reputans et se privatum +non sine periculo fore, et rem publicam plurium arbitrio commissum iri, +summam retinuit potestatem, id vero studuit ne quem novi status +paeniteret. Bene de iis etiam, quos adversarios expertus erat, et +sentiebat et loquebatur. Legentem aliquando unum e nepotibus invenit; +cumque puer territus volumen Ciceronis, quod manu tenebat, veste +tegeret, Augustus librum cepit eoque statim reddito, "Hic vir," inquit +"fili mi, doctus fuit et patriae amans." + +Pedibus saepe per urbem incedebat summaque comitate adeuntes excipiebat. +Convenit aliquando eum veteranus miles, qui vocatus in ius +periclitabatur rogavitque ut sibi adesset. Statim Augustus unum e +comitatu suo elegit advocatum, qui litigatorem commendaret. Tum +veteranus exclamavit: "At non ego, te periclitante bello Actiaco, +vicarium quaesivi, sed ipse pro te pugnavi," simulque detexit +cicatrices. Erubuit Augustus atque ipse venit in advocationem. + +Cum post Actiacam victoriam Octavianus Romam reverteretur, occurrit ei +inter gratulantes opifex quidam corvum tenens, quem instituerat haec +dicere: "Ave, Caesar, victor, imperator!" Miratus Caesar officiosam avem +viginti milibus nummorum emit. Socius opificis, ad quem nihil ex illa +liberalitate pervenerat, adfirmavit Caesari habere illum et alium +corvum, quem ut adferre cogeretur rogavit. Adlatus verba, quae +didicerat, expressit: "Ave, Antoni, victor, imperator!" Nihil +exasperatus Caesar satis duxit iubere illum dividere donativum cum +contubernali. Salutatus similiter a psittaco emi eum iussit. + +Exemplum sutorem pauperem sollicitavit ut corvum institueret ad parem +salutationem. Qui impendio exhaustus saepe ad avem non respondentem +dicere solebat "Opera et impensa periit!" Aliquando tamen corvus coepit +dicere dictam salutationem. Hac audita, dum transit, Augustus respondit: +"Satis domi talium salutatorum habeo." Superfuit corvo memoria, ut et +illa, quibus dominum querentem solebat audire, subtexeret: "Opera et +impensa periit." Ad quod Caesar risit emique avem iussit, quanti nullam +ante emerat. + +Solebat Graeculus quidam descendenti e palatio Caesari honorificum +aliquod epigramma porrigere. Id cum frustra saepe fecisset et tamen +rursus eum idem facturum duxisset Augustus, breve sua manu in charta +exaravit Graecum epigramma et Graeculo advenienti obviam misit. Ille +inter legendum laudare mirarique tam voce quam vultu gestuque. Deinde +cum accessisset ad sellam, qua Caesar vehebatur, demissa in pauperem +crumenam manu paucos denarios protulit, quos principi daret, dixitque se +plus daturum fuisse, si plus habuisset. Secuto omnium risu, +dispensatorem Caesar vocavit et satis grandem pecuniae summam numerari +Graeculo iussit. + +Augustus fere nulli se invitanti negabat. Exceptus igitur a quodam cena +satis parca et paene cottidiana, hoc tantum insusurravit: "Non putabam +me tibi esse tam familiarem." Cum aliquando apud Pollionem quendam +cenaret fregissetque unus e servis vas crystallinum, rapi eum ad mortem +Pollio iussit et obici muraenis quas ingens piscina continebat. Evasit e +manibus puer et ad pedes Caesaris confugit, nihil aliud petiturus quam +ut aliter periret nec esca piscium fieret. Motus est novo crudelitatis +genere Caesar et illum quidem mitti, crystallina autem omnia coram se +frangi iussit complerique piscinam. + +Augustus in quadam villa aegrotans noctes inquietas agebat, rumpente +somnum eius crebro noctuae cantu. Qua molestia cum liberari se +vehementer cupere significasset, miles quidam, aucupii peritus, noctuam +prehendendam curavit, vivamque Augusto attulit, spe ingentis praemii. +Cui cum Augustus mille nummos dari iussisset, ille minus dignum praemium +existimans dicere ausus est: "Malo ut vivat," et avem dimisit. +Imperatori nec ad irascendum causa deerat nec ad ulciscendum potestas: +hanc tamen iniuriam aequo animo tulit Augustus hominemque impunitum +abire passus est. + +Augustus amicitias neque facile admisit et constantissime retinuit. +Imprimis familiarem habuit Maecenatem, equitem Romanum; qui ea, qua apud +principem valebat, gratia ita semper usus est, ut prodesset omnibus, +quibus posset, noceret nemini. Ius aliquando dicebat Augustus et multos +capite damnaturus videbatur. Aderat tum Maecenas, qui per circumstantium +turbam perrumpere et ad tribunal propius accedere conabatur. Quod cum +frustra tentasset, haec verba in tabella scripsit: "Surge tandem, +carnifex!" eamque tabellam ad Augustum proiecit. Qua lecta is statim +surrexit neque quisquam est morte multatus. + +Habitavit Augustus in aedibus modicis, neque laxitate neque cultu +conspicuis, ac per annos amplius quadraginta in eodem cubiculo hieme et +aestate mansit. Suppellex quoque eius vix privatae elegantiae erat. Raro +veste alia usus est quam confecta ab uxore, sorore, filia neptibusque. +Item tamen Romam, quam pro maiestate imperii non satis ornatam +invenerat, adeo excoluit, ut iure gloriaretur marmoream se relinquere, +quam latericiam accepisset. + +Forma fuit Augustus eximia et per omnes aetatis gradus venustissima. +Erat tamen omnis lenocinii neglegens et in capite comendo tam +incuriosus, ut eo ipso tempore, quo illud tonsoribus committeret, aut +legeret aliquid aut etiam scriberet. + +Paucis annis antequam moreretur, gravissimam in Germania accepit cladem, +tribus legionibus cum duce Varo legatisqueet auxiliis omnibus caesis. +Hac nuntiata excubias per urbem indixit, ne quis tumultus exsisteret, et +magnos ludos Iovi optimo maximo vovit, si res publica in meliorem statum +vertisset. Adeo denique consternatum ferunt, ut, per continuos menses +barba capilloque submisso, caput interdum foribus inlideret, vociferans: +"Quintili Vare, legiones redde!" diemque cladis quotannis maestum +habuerit ac lugubrem. + +Tandem adflicta valetudine in Campaniam concessit, ubi, remisso ad otium +animo, nullo hilaritatis genere abstinuit. Supremo vitae die petito +speculo capillum sibi comi iussit et amicos circumstantes percontatus +ecquid iis videretur mimum vitae commode transegisse, adiecit solitam +clausulam: "Edite strepitum vosque omnes cum gaudio applaudite."

He +did not doubt that in this way he would secure for the Romans the favor +of the Spanish [conciliate the Spanish to the Romans]. 10. Among the +captive Africans he found a boy of remarkable beauty,[4] who said that +his grandfather was the king of Numidia, and that he had crossed over +into Spain with his uncle Masinissa to carry on war with the Romans. 11. +Scipio freed the boy, and thus won the favor of the Numidian king. 12. +When the Spaniards wanted to call Scipio king, he asked them to refrain +from that title. 13. After Hannibal had been driven from Spain, Scipio, +who had[5] long been planning to transfer the war to Africa, sent +Laelius, whose[6] friendship he did not mistrust, to win over some of +the African chiefs. 14. Afterwards he crossed over to Africa himself, +and it is said that he met Hannibal [to him a meeting with Hannibal to +have been] at the court of Syphax. 15.

When the senate seemed on the point[10] of transferring the conduct +of the war against Antiochus from Lucius Scipio to Laelius, because +(aswas thought) the former[11] had too little courage and too little +wisdom for such a war, Africanus promised to be himself his brother's +lieutenant. 29. Scipio could endure no dishonor to his family. 30. After +Antiochus had been defeated, when the senate demanded from Lucius Scipio +an accounting of the spoils, Africanus prevented it. 31. He said that he +had been of [for] so great aid to his country that his integrity ought +not to be doubted. 32. It happened that Africanus himself was afterwards +summoned for trial by the tribunes on the very day on which the battle +of Zama had been fought.[12] 33. When ordered to plead his cause, he +mounted the rostrum and said: "Let us offer thanks to Jupiter, by whose +aid we obtained[13] so great a victory." 34.

They represent the latest advances in philological +science, and embody the results of the author's large experience in +teaching and of his own linguistic studies, together with the +suggestions and advice of eminent German specialists in the field of +Historical and Comparative Grammar. The peculiar qualities of +simplicity, clearness, and adaptation of treatment to the practical +needs of the student and of the class room,--qualities that have always +characterized the Harkness Grammars,--have been preserved and even +intensified in these new books. + +The Complete Latin Grammar is designed at once as a text-book for the +class room and a book of reference for the student. It aims not only to +present systematically for the benefit of the beginner the leading facts +and laws of the Latin language, but also to provide accurately for the +needs of the advanced student. + +The Short Latin Grammar is published for the benefit of those who prefer +to begin with a more elementary manual, or those who do not contemplate +a collegiate course. In the preparation of this work the convenience and +interest of the student have been carefully consulted. The paradigms, +rules, and discussions have in general been introduced in the exact form +and language of the Complete Latin Grammar by which it may at any time +be supplemented. The numbering of the sections in the two books is also +alike. + + +_Copies of the books will be sent, prepaid, to any address on receipt of +the price by the Publishers_: + + =American Book Company= + =New York Cincinnati Chicago= + + + + +LATIN PROSE WRITING + + =With Full Introductory Notes On Idiom= + + By MAURICE W. MATHER, Ph.D. + Formerly Instructor in Latin in Harvard University + + and ARTHUR L. WHEELER, Ph.D. + Instructor in Latin in Yale University + + =Half Leather, 12mo, 216 pages Price $1.00= + + +The present book furnishes all the essential material for the writing of +average passages in Latin Prose. It is not intended to teach how to +write isolated sentences, illustrative of given constructions, but the +book assumes that the pupil, after a year or more of such practice, is +ready to learn the art of writing connected narrative in Latin. The +authors have based their exercises on Caesar's Gallic War Books III and +IV, Nepos's Alcibiades and Hannibal, and Cicero's Manilian Law and +Archias, inasmuch as these are not only models of good style, but are +usually read in schools. As the book is not for beginners, the +individual exercises have not been made vehicles for teaching any one or +two constructions, but the authors have felt at liberty to introduce at +any time even the more difficult constructions; indirect discourse, for +instance, being taken up at the very beginning. + +While, in general, the vocabulary and the constructions for any exercise +are supplied in the Latin text on which the given exercise is based, yet +enough variation from the language of the model is required to give the +pupil abundant practice in handling forms and constructions. By this +means the pupil's power of observation is increased, his interest is +quickened by the pleasure of discovery, and he will remember the word +much better than if he found it ready at hand in a dictionary. + +A number of recent examination papers from various colleges have been +inserted in the belief that they will be found useful for sight tests +and occasional examinations. The notes accompanying some of the papers +belong to the original examinations. At the end of the book are indexes +of words and constructions, and of English words and phrases with +references to sections of the Notes on Idiom in PartI. + + +_Copies sent, prepaid, to any address on receipt of the price._ + + =American Book Company= + =New York Cincinnati Chicago= + + + + +PEARSON'S ESSENTIALS OF LATIN FOR BEGINNERS + + BY + HENRY C. PEARSON + Horace Mann School, Teachers' College, Columbia University + + Cloth, 12mo, 320 Pages + Price, 90 Cents + + +This book is designed to prepare pupils in a thorough fashion to read +Caesar's Gallic War. It contains seventy lessons, including ten that are +devoted exclusively to reading, and six supplementary lessons. The first +seventy lessons contain the minimum of what a pupil should know before +he is ready to read Latin with any degree of intelligence and +satisfaction. The supplementary lessons deal largely with certain +principles of syntax that some teachers may not wish to present to their +pupils during the first year's work. They are independent of one another +and of the rest of the book, and may therefore be taken up in any order +that the teacher wishes, or any number of them may be omitted. + +The work contains many features and pedagogical improvements which will +commend themselves to teachers of first year Latin. Various +simplifications in statement are introduced, and throughout the greatest +care has been taken to preserve scientific accuracy while enunciating +principles in the simplest forms. + + + + + AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY + NEW YORK CINCINNATI CHICAGO + + + + +_Revised Edition_ + +VIRGIL'S AENEID + + With an Introduction, Notes, and Vocabulary by #HENRY S.

Such +changes and alterations have been introduced as are necessary to make +the book conform to modern demands, and many important additions have +also been made. + +#The Introduction# has been enlarged by the addition of sections on the +life and writings of Virgil, the plan of the Aeneid, the meter, +manuscripts, editions, and helpful books of reference. + +#The Text# has been corrected to conform to the readings that have +become established, and the spellings are in accord with the evidence of +inscriptions of the first century A.D. To meet the need of early +assistance in reading the verse metrically, the long vowels in the first +two books are fully indicated. + +#The Notes# have been thoroughly revised and largely added to. The old +grammar references are corrected and new ones (toHarkness's Complete, +Lane & Morgan's, and Bennett's Grammars) added. The literary +appreciation of the poet is increased by parallel quotations from +English literature. The irregularities of scansion in each book are also +given with sufficient explanations. + +#The Vocabulary# has been made as simple as possible and includes only +those words occurring in the Aeneid. The parts of compound words are not +indicated separately when they appear unmodified in the compound form. +The principal parts of verbs are given which are understood to be in +actual use. + +#The Illustrations# for the most part are new and fresh, and have been +selected with great care with a view to assisting directly in the +interpretation of the text. There are also maps showing the wanderings +of Aeneas, the vicinity of Cumae, and pre-historic Rome, and a full-page +facsimile of one of the best manuscripts of Virgil, the Codex Palatinus. + + #American Book Company, Publishers# + + + + +#CICERO'S ORATIONS# + +AND SELECTIONS FROM THE LETTERS + + Edited By + + WILLIAM R.

EGBERT, Jr., Ph.D. + Adjunct Professor of Latin, Columbia University + + =Half Morocco, large 12mo, 468 pages. With numerous illustrations and + exact reproductions of inscriptions Price, $3 50= + +This work is designed as a text-book for the use of students in +Universities and Colleges, and also to furnish an account of this branch +of archaeological study for general readers. It has been prepared in the +belief that a knowledge of epigraphy forms an essential part of the +equipment of a teacher of the classics, and that the subject itself has +become so important as to justify its introduction, in elementary form +at least, into the curriculum of undergraduate studies. + +A distinctive feature of the book is the number and character of its +illustrations,--there being over seven hundred cuts and diagrams of +inscriptions, for the purpose of illustrating the text, and for practice +in reading. Of these, over one hundred are photographic reproductions, +showing the forms of the letters and the arrangement of the +inscriptions. The work is also supplied with an exhaustive bibliography +and valuable tables of abbreviations, archaisms, etc. + + +_Copies of Egbert's Latin Inscriptions will be sent, prepaid, to any +address on receipt of the price by the Publishers:_ + + =American Book Company= + =New York Cincinnati Chicago= + + + + +FIRST LATIN READINGS + +An Equivalent for Caesar + + by + + ROBERT ARROWSMITH, Ph.D. + + and + + G.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included.

Since for many years the study of +Latin lay in bondage to the spirit which regarded the language merely as +a <i>corpus vile</i> for grammatical dissection, and ignored the rich +literature lying beyond the classical trinity of authors, it is not +surprising that it fell into disfavor as unsuited to the requirements of +the times. The revival upon which the study has now entered is due +largely to a recognition of the fact that mental culture rather than +mere mental training is its true aim, and that, with this aim kept +steadily in view, the study of Latin is not a barren waste of time and +energy, but a most potent agency in securing that broad and sympathetic +culture which must ever remain the mark of the educated man. The results +of classical study most valuable to the character are surely not to be +found in the ability, usually lost after a few years, to recite +paradigms faultlessly, to give the principal parts of verbs, and to +enumerate the various kinds of <i>cum</i>-constructions and the +subdivisions of the ablative. Of far greater worth are the mental +breadth and sympathy, the weakening of prejudice and Philistinism, and +the increased power of entering into higher forms of enjoyment which +must inevitably flow from the study of the life of a great people as +revealed in its literature and art.</p> + +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_iv" id = "page_iv">iv</a> +<p>This conception of the sphere of Latin study has brought with it some +modifications of the initial steps and a return to some of the texts in +use fifty years since. In the traditional sequence of authors, and +particularly in the selection of a purely military work as the means by +which to introduce the student to the language, the entrance into the +fields of Latin literature has frequently been made so distasteful as to +destroy the desire for further exploration. More attractive paths, +however, are opening to the beginner; and of these the <i>Viri Romae</i> +offers in a notable degree material of real interest to the young, and, +from the very outset, gives a foretaste of the contents of the +literature.</p> + +<p>The history of this work is of interest, as showing an early +recognition of the correctness of the standpoint to which we are now +returning. It was compiled by a Professor of the University of Paris, +Charles François Lhomond, who lived from 1727 to 1794, and enjoyed an +enviable reputation as a successful teacher, especially of younger +pupils. His experience taught him the need of an introductory text +combining interest of story with simplicity of style. The best proof of +the excellence of his work is the fact that it has ever since remained a +favorite with teachers of Latin. The material is taken from the works of +various authors, chiefly Livy and Eutropius, but was simplified by +Lhomond in vocabulary and construction wherever necessary to fit it to +the requirements of beginners. As its title indicates, it deals with the +early stories of Rome, so fascinating in any dress to the young, and it +is therefore eminently fitted to arouse a desire for further +reading.</p> + +<p>The present edition has been prepared with reference to the +difficulties most likely to embarrass the young pupil at the outset of +the new study. One of the most perplexing of these difficulties is the +inability to discover in an alphabetical vocabulary the inflected forms +encountered in the text. This is met, in part at least, by giving in +italics in the footnotes the vocabulary form of verbs not easily +recognizable. For a similar reason grammatical +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_v" id = "page_v">v</a> +constructions are, on their first occurrence, explained in simple +language, or their nature briefly indicated, in order that the student +may more intelligently consult the grammatical references which follow. +For purposes of comparison, and as a means of helping the pupil to form +proper habits of study and observation, subsequent occurrences are +referred to previous instances, or to the tables of constructions on +pages xvi-xxvi.</p> + +<p>Although the compiler of the <i>Viri Romae</i> greatly simplified the +language of his authorities, there yet remain in the early part of the +book many constructions which the beginner is not fitted to discuss. It +is strongly recommended, therefore, that the treatment of the more +difficult and complex of these constructions be postponed to a later +period. At the outset the attention of the pupil should be centered upon +matters of primary importance and upon the simplest and most common +usages, such as the form of the sentence, the relation of its parts to +one another, the significance of terminations, and the modes of +expressing the constantly recurring relations of time, place, cause, +means, purpose, and result. Even these should be treated as simply as +possible and with constant regard to English usage. It is the experience +of many teachers that reference to a Latin grammar to explain a +construction possessed by English as well as by Latin frequently creates +a difficulty where the student, if left to his own devices, would have +experienced none.</p> + +<p>The notes on matters of Roman custom have been made intentionally +full with the aim of adding reality to the stories, and of inducing the +pupil, under the teacher’s guidance, to discover for himself further +details. The use of other accounts, whether in ancient or modern +authors, of photographs, plates, and other graphic aids can not be too +strongly encouraged, in accordance with the dictum of Horace:—</p> + +<div class = "verse"> +<p>Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures</p> +<p>Quam quae sunt oculis subiecta fidelibus.</p> +</div> + +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_vi" id = "page_vi">vi</a> +<p>All vowels known to be long have been carefully marked. The text of +this edition is, in the main, that of C. Holzer (tenth edition, +Stuttgart, 1889). In orthography, however, Brambach has been followed. +In the vocabulary compound verbs are given under the simple verbs as an +aid to the fuller appreciation of the methods by which they are formed +and their meanings derived. The exercises in prose composition have been +made simple in order that they may occupy their legitimate place as +subordinate and auxiliary to the development of the more important +reading power.</p> + +<p>The thanks of the editors are due to Mr. E. G. Warner, of the +Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, for his hearty coöperation in the work, +and particularly for the labor which he has expended upon the +exercises.</p> + +<p class = "rightside">

"images/decline2.png" width = "84" height = "11" +alt = "----"></p> + +<p><span class = "firstword">To</span> read Latin quickly and +intelligently, and to enjoy the reading properly, we must possess +(1) a vocabulary, <i>i.e.</i> a collection of Latin words with +whose meanings, whether used singly or in combination, we are thoroughly +familiar; (2) a knowledge of the inflectional system of the +language, <i>i.e.</i> its declensions and conjugations; +(3) a knowledge of its syntax; and (4) a knowledge +of the plan upon which the Latin sentence is constructed, or, in other +words, we must be able to overcome the difficulties arising out of the +peculiar order of the words and clauses that form a Latin sentence.</p> + +<p><b>Vocabulary.</b>—Words are the material out of which +sentences are constructed. Hence it is of prime importance to know their +meanings. The best way, in fact the only way, to acquire a vocabulary, +is by constant reading, and by noting carefully the force of individual +words as they occur. It soon becomes evident that certain words are very +frequently used, especially verbs which denote actions that have to do +with everyday life, such as <i>dīcō</i>, <i>eō</i>, <i>faciō</i>, +<i>habeō</i>, <i>veniō</i>, <i>sum</i>, and their compounds. These at +least must be mastered at the very outset. It is worth while to notice +what prefixes are used in forming compound verbs, and the modifications +of meaning which they produce. If the force of the simple verb is +mastered, a little practice will enable the student to detect at +sight the meaning of any of its compounds without reference to any +dictionary.</p> + +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_x" id = "page_x">x</a> +<p>It is useful also to group together in memory words derived from the +same stem, <i>e.g.</i> <i>canō</i>, <i>cantus</i>; <i>certō</i>, +<i>certāmen</i>; <i>dūcō</i>, <i>dux</i>; <i>regō</i>, <i>rēx</i>, +<i>rēgius</i>; <i>caedō</i>, <i>caedēs</i>. A specially interesting +study consists in noting the English words which go back to Latin +originals. From various causes a large part of our English vocabulary is +borrowed from Latin. Cf. <i>donate</i> with <i>dōnō</i> and +<i>dōnum</i>, <i>lucid</i> with <i>lūx</i>, <i>regent</i> with +<i>rēx</i> and <i>regō</i>.</p> + +<p>Finally, it will be found very helpful constantly to read Latin +aloud, for thus the <i>ear</i> will help the <i>eye</i> and words will +have meaning when <i>heard</i> as well as when <i>seen</i>. Indeed, we +ought to use our ears far more than our eyes in acquiring a Latin +vocabulary, in order that Latin words, when heard, shall suggest at once +to our minds the same pictures which they suggested to the minds of +Roman boys.</p> + +<p><b>Inflections and Syntax.</b>—It is not enough, however, to be +familiar with the meanings of individual words, however many we may +succeed in mastering. We must possess a knowledge also of +<i>inflections</i>, <i>i.e.</i> of the declensions and conjugations, +which tell us how individual words may be altered in form in order to +express different relations to other words, and of <i>syntax</i>, which +tells us how words are combined together into sentences. +A knowledge of inflections and an understanding of syntax are the +tools by which we arrive at the meaning of sentences as a whole. As the +wise workman uses the best and most efficient tools, so one who +undertakes to read Latin with speed and pleasure must make his mastery +of inflections and syntax as complete as possible. It is assumed that +students of this book have already had some drill in the commoner +inflections. The principles of syntax can best be studied as they occur +in actual reading. The commonest, and therefore most important, are +discussed in the notes and illustrated by appropriate references to the +grammars in common use and by the tables of constructions on pages xvi +to xxvi. A very practical way of fixing the principles of syntax +firmly in mind is +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xi" id = "page_xi">xi</a> +by frequent translation from English into Latin. It should be +remembered, however, that we study syntax simply because such study +enables us to read and enjoy the great works of Latin literature.</p> + +<p><b>The Order of Words.</b>—The greatest difficulty that +confronts the student of Latin literature is the fact that the order of +the words in a Latin sentence is widely different from that which he +ordinarily finds in an English sentence. This difference is due mainly +to two causes. (1) Every Latin sentence is a kind of word picture, +in which the meaning is developed stroke by stroke, <i>the separate +parts being introduced in the order of their importance</i>. (2) It +is a principle of Latin to keep the meaning in suspense until the very +end, so that the last word completes not only the form, but also the +meaning of the sentence. Both these principles may be seen at work in +lines 1 to 5 of <a href = "#selection_I">selection I</a>, page 1. +<i>Proca</i> naturally stands first, partly because the whole work is a +story of the deeds of men, partly because at this point he is especially +important, as being the reigning king, with power to choose his own +successor. The phrase <i>rēx Albānōrum</i> very properly follows, as +defining the scene of the action. <i>Numitor</i> and <i>Amūlius</i> are +next mentioned because the Latin loves to emphasize contrasts of +persons. The sense of the whole is not complete till we reach the very +last word, <i>habuit</i>. In the next sentence <i>Numitōrī</i> is first, +because now Numitor is more important, as being Proca’s successor. The +relative clause <i>quī . . . erat</i> not only states a fact, +but also gives the reason why Proca bequeathed his kingdom (<i>rēgnum +relīquit</i>) to Numitor. So in the words <i>ut . . . +fēcit</i>, the <i>ut</i>-clause tells why Amulius performed the act +indicated by the words <i>Rhēam Silviam . . . fēcit</i>, so +that by the time we know <i>what</i> the act was we know also exactly +<i>why</i> it was performed. The Latin thus pictures the parts of the +scene in their true order, for the motive in every case precedes the +act. We see therefore that, however strange at times the Latin order may +seem to be, there is +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xii" id = "page_xii">xii</a> +always good reason for it. It is our task at the outset, as it soon will +be our pleasure, to determine just what this reason is.</p> + +<p>Now this freer order of words in the Latin sentence is rendered +possible by the fact that Latin possesses an elaborate inflectional +system, whereas English does not. Note, however, that one familiar with +Latin declensions would know at once that in the first sentence +discussed above Proca was actor (<i>i.e.</i> subject), and Numitor and +Amulius acted upon (<i>i.e.</i> object). So in the sentence <i>ut +. . . fēcit</i> it is clear that Amulius is the actor and that +Rhea Silvia is acted upon. Thus the inflectional system serves to +relieve, in part at least, the very difficulty which it creates.</p> + +<p><b>How to Read.</b>—By far the best way for the beginner to +make himself familiar with the Latin order and its meaning is to <i>make +a practice from the very outset of reading the sentence aloud from +beginning to end before attempting to translate at all</i>. If the +meaning is not clear at once, a repetition of such reading will +often serve to make it clear, provided the student knows the force of +the individual words and constructions. If he does not, he must seek the +aid of the vocabulary or the notes. Then let him read the sentence once +more aloud, slowly and carefully. He should not, however, look into +either vocabulary or notes until he has read the Latin through at least +once. Progress at first will necessarily be slow, but it will be sure. +By every page read in the manner indicated above the pupil is preparing +himself to read with more and more intelligence and pleasure the pages +that remain. Besides, in this way he reads his Latin precisely as he +reads English, word after word, in the order in which it is written, and +precisely as a Roman boy 1800 years ago read his Latin story or poem. He +will gain further the advantage of training his ear as well as his eye +and of making it do its fair share of the work. In translating, too, it +will be wise to follow as closely as possible the Latin order. Often it +will be found that the resulting English +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xiii" id = "page_xiii">xiii</a> +order, even if not very common, is none the less intelligible. So the +sentence <i>ut . . . fēcit</i> discussed above may be +translated almost exactly in the Latin order.</p> + + +<h4 class = "smallcaps">Latin Composition</h4> + +<p><b>Its Value.</b>—An exercise which is very practical and +helpful, and which may also become extremely delightful, is the +rendering into Latin of English sentences based upon that portion of the +Latin text which has already been carefully studied. This exercise is +helpful, because it calls upon us to put into practice the knowledge +which we have acquired in reading; it may become delightful because it +shows us accurately the measure of our advance and thus affords us the +pleasure which comes from the feeling that one is making sure progress +in a given line of study.</p> + +<p><b>Essentials.</b>—To write Latin well one needs precisely the +things which we found necessary in reading (page ix). The words and +constructions required in the sentences for translation given on pages +112 to 129 are illustrated by the corresponding pages of the Latin text. +The pupil should always endeavor to recall the word, inflectional form, +phrase, or construction for himself before referring to his text or to +his grammar. In other words, he should make the exercise one of thought +rather than of mere mechanical copying from a printed model.</p> + +<p><b>The Object.</b>—We read the Latin text in order to +understand the thoughts of the writer. So in turning English sentences +into Latin our chief object is to clothe the <i>thoughts</i> which such +sentences convey in proper Latin dress, not merely to substitute Latin +<i>words</i> for English <i>words</i>. Every language has its own +peculiar expressions, which are called <i>idioms</i>. Such expressions +can never be literally translated from one language into another. Hence +in attempting to turn an English sentence into Latin, we must begin by +noting carefully the thought which it expresses, +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xiv" id = "page_xiv">xiv</a> +and then consider how the Romans gave expression to that thought.</p> + +<p><b>Choice of Expression.</b>—In Latin, just as in English, it +often happens that the same thought may be expressed in several ways, +which differ greatly in the words used as well as in the form and +expression. In English it is often impossible to give a reason for the +choice of one form of expression in preference to others. Sometimes the +choice is made consciously for the sake of variety, or because there is +a very slight shade of difference in meaning,—so slight that we +can perhaps feel it, but cannot put it into words; sometimes +unconsciously, because every one falls into the habit of using certain +phrases and manners of speech with no deeper reason than the habit. The +same is true of Latin writers. Their various forms of expression have +been noted and collected, and we find them laid down in the grammars as +<i>rules</i>. Some of these expressions are found to be used by the best +writers more frequently than others, and these are considered the best +models. But the student must avoid the error of confining himself +absolutely to one iron-bound form because most stress is laid upon it by +the grammars, if he finds other modes of expression in the writings of +good authors. By searching out the greatest variety of forms in which an +idea may be expressed, by trying to discover the differences in meaning +between them, and by placing yourself as far as possible in the writer’s +place, you will gain a far greater grasp and appreciation of the +language than by learning a single rigid rule and forcing it to fit +every case.</p> + +<p>One of the central ideas of the following exercises, then, should be +to render the thought in as many ways as possible, drawing your +authority from the text on which the exercise is based, as well as from +your grammar.</p> + +<p>Examine the tables on pages xvi to xxvi, where you will find several +of the most important constructions treated. Compare the examples given +and try to trace out the reasons for the different +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xv" id = "page_xv">xv</a> +forms. In many cases you will not be able to do so, and are free to +choose one of several modes of expression. In others the meaning of the +sentences and the aid of the grammar will give the reason for your +choice.</p> + +<p><b>Caution.</b>—The pupil should note that all the words and +constructions necessary to enable him to write in Latin the sentences +given below, pages 112 to 129, are to be found on the pages of the Latin +text upon which the exercises are based. <i>An English-Latin vocabulary +or dictionary is, therefore, wholly unnecessary.</i> Additional +sentences based on the text may be made up by student or teacher as +required.</p> + + +<h4 class = "smallcaps">Tables of Constructions</h4> + +<p>The following tables have been prepared for the purpose of affording +the pupil material for study and comparison, by grouping together under +appropriate heads examples of certain constructions as they actually +occur in this book. It is expected that they will be helpful to the +student in two ways: (1) by supplementing and illustrating the +notes, and (2) by affording him guides which he may follow in his +writing of Latin. No attempt whatever has been made to include under any +given head all the examples that are to be found in the text. The pupil +will find it both interesting and instructive to add to the lists +himself as he finds new instances in his own reading.</p> + + +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page_xvi" id = "page_xvi">xvi</a> + +<h4><i>A.</i> EXPRESSIONS OF PLACE</h4> + +<h5 class = "smallcaps"> +1.

Quae res maxime videtur concitasse +secundum Punicum bellum. Nam, mortuo Hamilcare, Hannibal causam belli +quaerens Saguntum, civitatem Hispaniae Romanis foederatam evertit. +Quapropter Roma missi sunt Carthaginem legati, qui Hannibalem, mali +auctorem, exposcerent. Tergiversantibus Poenis Quintus Fabius, +legationis princeps, sinu ex toga facto “Hic” inquit “vobis bellum et +pacem portamus; utrum placet, sumite.” Poenis daret utrum vellet +succlamantibus, Fabius, excussa toga, bellum se dare dicit. Poeni +accipere se responderunt et, quibus acciperent animis, iisdem se +gesturos.</p> + +<p>Hannibal superatis Pyrenaei et Alpium iugis in Italiam venit. Publium +Scipionem apud Ticinum amnem, Sempronium apud Trebiam, Flaminium apud +Trasumenum profligavit.</p> + +<p>Adversus hostem totiens victorem missus Quintus Fabius dictator +Hannibalis impetum mora fregit; namque, priorum ducum cladibus edoctus +belli rationem mutare et adversus Hannibalem, successibus proeliorum +insolentem, recedere ab ancipiti discrimine et tueri tantummodo Italiam +constituit Cunctatorisque nomen et laudem summi ducis meruit. Per loca +alta agmen ducebat modico ab hoste intervallo, ut neque omitteret eum +neque cum eo congrederetur; castris, nisi quantum necessitas cogeret, +miles tenebatur. Dux neque occasioni rei bene gerendae deerat, si qua ab +hoste daretur, neque ullam ipse hosti dabat. Itaque cum ex levibus +proeliis superior discederet, militem minus iam coepit aut virtutis suae +aut fortunae paenitere.</p> + +<p>His artibus cum Hannibalem Fabius in agro Falerno locorum angustiis +clausisset, ille sine ullo exercitus detrimento se expedivit. Namque +arida sarmenta in boum cornibus deligata principio noctis incendi +bovesque ad montes, quos Romani insederant, agi iussit. Qui cum accensis +cornibus per montes, per silvas huc illuc discurrerent, Romani miraculo +attoniti constiterunt; ipse Fabius, insidias esse ratus, militem extra +vallum egredi vetuit. Interea Hannibal ex angustiis evasit.</p> + +<p>Dein Hannibal, ut Fabio apud suos conflaret invidiam, agrum eius, +omnibus circa vastatis, intactum reliquit. At Fabius, misso Romam Quinto +filio, inviolatum ab hoste agrum vendidit eiusque pretio captivos +Romanos redemit.</p> + +<p>Haud grata tamen Romanis erat Fabii cunctatio: eumque pro cauto +timidum, pro cunctatore segnem vocitabant. Augebat invidiam Minucius, +magister equitum, dictatorem criminando: illum in ducendo bello sedulo +tempus terere, quo diutius in magistratu esset solusque et Romae et in +exercitu imperium haberet. His sermonibus accensa plebs dictatori +magistrum equitum imperio aequavit. Hanc iniuriam aequo animo tulit +Fabius exercitumque suum cum Minucio divisit. Cum autem Minucius temere +proelium commisisset, ei periclitanti auxilio venit Fabius. Cuius subito +adventu repressus Hannibal receptui cecinit, palam confessus ab se +Minucium, se a Fabio victum esse. Redeuntem ex acie dixisse eum ferunt +tandem eam nubem, quae sedere in iugis montium solita esset, cum +procella imbrem dedisse. Minucius autem periculo liberatus castra cum +Fabio iunxit et patrem eum appellavit idemque facere milites iussit.</p> + +<p>Postea Hannibal Tarento per proditionem potitus est. Hanc urbem ut +Poenis traderent, tredecim fere nobiles iuvenes Tarentini coniuraverant. +Hi, nocte per speciem venandi urbe egressi, ad Hannibalem, qui haud +procul castra habebat, venerunt. Cui cum quid pararent exposuissent, +conlaudavit eos Hannibal monuitque ut redeuntes pecora Carthaginiensium, +quae pastum propulsa essent, ad urbem agerent et veluti praedam ex hoste +factam aut praefecto aut custodibus portarum donarent. Id iterum ac +saepius ab iis factum eoque consuetudinis adducta res est, ut, quocumque +noctis tempore sibilo dedissent signum, porta urbis aperiretur. Tunc +Hannibal eos nocte media cum decem milibus hominum delectorum secutus +est. Ubi portae appropinquarunt, nota iuvenum vox et familiare signum +vigilem excitavit. Duo primi inferebant aprum vasti corporis. Vigil +incautus, dum beluae magnitudinem miratur, venabulo occisus est. +Ingressi proditores ceteros vigiles sopitos obtruncant.

Miles iussus a Fabio pro perfuga Tarentum +transiit ac per sororem praefectum ad tradendam urbem perpulit. Fabius +vigilia prima accessit ad eam partem muri, quam praefectus custodiebat. +Adiuvantibus recipientibusque eius militibus, Romani in urbem +transcenderunt. Inde, proxima porta refracta, Fabius cum exercitu +intravit. Hannibal nuntiata Tarenti oppugnatione, cum ad opem ferendam +festinans captam urbem esse audivisset, “Et Romani” inquit “suum +Hannibalem habent: eadem, qua ceperamus, arte Tarentum amisimus.”</p> + +<p>Cum postea Livius Salinator coram Fabio gloriaretur, quod arcem +Tarentinam retinuisset, dixissetque eum sua opera Tarentum recepisse, +“Certe” inquit Fabius ridens, “nam nisi tu amisisses, ego numquam +recepissem.”</p> + +<p>Quintus Fabius iam senex filio suo consuli legatus fuit; cumque in +eius castra veniret, filius obviam patri progressus est, duodecim +lictoribus pro more antecedentibus.

Hannibal autem ita constituerat aciem, ut Romanis +et solis radii et ventus ab oriente pulverem adflans adversi essent. +Victus caesusque est Romanus exercitus; nusquam graviore vulnere +adflicta est res publica. Aemilius Paulus telis obrutus cecidit: quem +cum media in pugna sedentem in saxo oppletum cruore conspexisset quidam +tribunus militum, “Cape” inquit “hunc equum et fuge, Aemili.

Cumque Hannibal +illud non probasset, Maharbal “Non omnia nimirum” inquit “eidem dii +dedere.

Eos senatus non redimendos censuit responditque eos cives non +esse necessarios, qui, cum armati essent, capi potuissent. Unus ex iis +legatis e castris Poenorum egressus, veluti aliquid oblitus, paulo post +in castra erat regressus, deinde comites ante noctem adsecutus erat.

Quae pietas Scipioni postea aedilitatem petenti +favorem populi conciliavit. Cum obsisterent tribuni plebis, negantes +rationem eius esse habendam, quod nondum ad petendum legitima aetas +esset, “Si me” inquit Scipio “omnes Quirites aedilem facere volunt, +satis annorum habeo.” Tanto inde favore ad suffragia itum est, ut +tribuni incepto desisterent.</p> + +<p>Post cladem Cannensem Romani exercitus reliquiae Canusium +perfugerant; cumque ibi tribuni militum quattuor essent, tamen omnium +consensu ad Publium Scipionem, admodum adulescentem, summa imperii +delata est. Quibus consultantibus nuntiat Publius Furius Philus, +consularis viri filius, nobiles quosdam iuvenes propter desperationem +consilium de Italia deserenda inire. Statim in hospitium Metelli, qui +conspirationis erat princeps, se contulit Scipio, et cum concilium ibi +iuvenum, de quibus adlatum erat, invenisset, stricto super capita +consultantium gladio, “Iurate” inquit “vos neque ipsos rem publicam +populi Romani deserturos, neque alium civem Romanum deserere passuros: +qui non iuraverit, in se hunc gladium strictum esse sciat.” Haud secus +pavidi, quam si victorem Hannibalem cernerent, iurant omnes +custodiendosque semet ipsos Scipioni tradunt.</p> + +<p>Cum Romani duas clades in Hispania accepissent duoque ibi summi +imperatores intra dies triginta cecidissent, placuit exercitum augeri +eoque proconsulem mitti; nec tamen quem mitterent satis constabat.

Maesta igitur civitas ac prope inops consilii +comitiorum die in campum descendit. Subito P.

Eo congestae erant omnes paene Africae et Hispaniae +opes, ibi arma, ibi pecunia, ibi totius Hispaniae obsides erant: quibus +omnibus potitus est Scipio. Inter captivos ad eum adducta est eximiae +formae adulta virgo.

Scipio aurum ante pedes poni iussit vocatoque ad +se virginis sponso, “Super dotem” inquit “quam accepturus a socero es, +haec tibi a me dotalia dona accedent” aurumque tollere ac sibi habere +iussit. Ille domum reversus ad referendam Scipioni gratiam Celtiberos +Romanis conciliavit.</p> + +<p>Deinde Scipio Hasdrubalem victum ex Hispania expulit. Castris hostium +potitus omnem praedam militibus concessit, captivos Hispanos sine pretio +domum dimisit; Afros vero vendi iussit. Erat inter eos puer adultus +regii generis, forma insigni: quem cum percontaretur Scipio quis et +cuias esset, et cur id aetatis in castris fuisset, “Numida sum” inquit +puer, “Massivam populares vocant: orbus a patre relictus, apud avum +maternum, Numidiae regem, educatus sum.

Eo die, quo +pugnatum est cum Romanis, inscio avunculo, clam armis equoque sumpto, in +aciem exii: ibi, prolapso equo, captus sum a Romanis.” Scipio eum +interrogat velletne ad avunculum reverti. Cum, effusis gaudio lacrimis, +id vero se cupere puer diceret, tum Scipio puero anulum aureum equumque +ornatum donat datisque qui tuto deducerent equitibus dimisit.</p> + +<p>Cum Publius Cornelius Scipio se erga Hispanos clementer gessisset, +circumfusa multitudo eum regem ingenti consensu appellavit; at Scipio, +silentio per praeconem facto, “Nomen imperatoris” inquit, “quo me mei +milites appellarunt, mihi maximum est: regium nomen, alibi magnum, Romae +intolerabile est. Si id amplissimum iudicatis, quod regale est, vobis +licet existimare regalem in me esse animum; sed oro vos ut a regis +appellatione abstineatis.” Sensere etiam barbari magnitudinem animi, qua +Scipio id aspernabatur, quod ceteri mortales admirantur et +concupiscunt.</p> + +<p>Scipio recepta Hispania cum iam bellum in ipsam Africam transferre +meditaretur, conciliandos prius regum et gentium animos existimavit. +Syphacem, Maurorum regem, opulentissimum totius Africae regem, quem +magno usui sibi fore speraret, primum tentare statuit. Itaque legatum +cum donis ad eum misit C. Laelium, quocum intima familiaritate +vivebat. Syphax amicitiam Romanorum se accipere adnuit, sed fidem nec +dare nec accipere, nisi cum ipso coram duce Romano, voluit. Scipio +igitur in Africam traiecit. Forte ita incidit, ut eo ipso tempore +Hasdrubal pulsus Hispania ad eundem portum appelleret, Syphacis +amicitiam pariter petiturus. Uterque a rege in hospitium invitatus. +Cenatum simul apud regem est; eodem etiam lecto Scipio atque Hasdrubal +accubuerunt. Tanta autem inerat comitas in Scipione, ut non Syphacem +modo, sed etiam hostem infestissimum Hasdrubalem sibi conciliaret. +Scipio, foedere icto cum Syphace, in Hispaniam ad exercitum rediit.</p> + +<p>Masinissa quoque amicitiam cum Scipione iungere iam dudum cupiebat. +Quare ad eum tres Numidarum principes misit ad tempus locumque conloquio +statuendum. Duos pro obsidibus retineri a Scipione iubet; remisso +tertio, qui Masinissam ad locum constitutum adduceret, Scipio et +Masinissa cum paucis in conloquium venerunt. Ceperat iam ante Numidam ex +fama rerum gestarum admiratio viri, sed maior praesentis veneratio +cepit: erat enim in vultu maiestas summa; accedebat promissa caesaries +habitusque corporis, non cultus munditiis, sed virilis vere ac +militaris, et florens iuventa. Prope attonitus ipso congressu Numida +gratias de filio fratris remisso agit: adfirmat se ex eo tempore eam +quaesivisse occasionem, quam tandem oblatam non omiserit; cupere se illi +et populo Romano operam navare. Laetus eum Scipio audivit atque in +societatem recepit.</p> + +<p>Scipio deinde Romam rediit et ante annos consul factus est. Sicilia +ei provincia decreta est permissumque ut in Africam inde traiceret. Qui +cum vellet ex fortissimis peditibus Romanis trecentorum equitum numerum +complere, nec posset illos subito armis et equis instruere, id prudenti +consilio perfecit. Namque ex omni Sicilia trecentos iuvenes nobilissimos +et ditissimos, qui equis militarent et secum in Africam traicerent, +legit diemque iis edixit, qua equis armisque instructi atque ornati +adessent. Gravis ea militia, procul domo, terra marique multos labores, +magna pericula adlatura videbatur; neque ipsos modo, sed parentes +cognatosque eorum ea cura angebat. Ubi dies quae dicta erat advenit, +arma equosque ostenderunt, sed omnes fere longinquum et grave bellum +horrere apparebat. Tunc Scipio militiam iis se remissurum ait, si arma +et equos militibus Romanis voluissent tradere. Laeti condicionem +acceperunt iuvenes Siculi. Ita Scipio sine publica impensa suos +instruxit ornavitque equites.</p> + +<p>Tunc Scipio ex Sicilia in Africam vento secundo profectus est tanto +militum ardore, ut non ad bellum duci viderentur, sed ad certa victoriae +praemia. Celeriter naves e conspectu Siciliae ablatae sunt conspectaque +brevi Africae litora. Scipio cum egrediens ad terram navi prolapsus +esset et ob hoc attonitos milites cerneret, id, quod trepidationem +adferebat, in hortationem convertens, “Africam oppressi” inquit, +“milites!” Expositis copiis in proximis tumulis castra metatus est. Ibi +speculatores hostium in castris deprehensos et ad se perductos nec +supplicio adfecit nec de consiliis ac viribus Poenorum percontatus est, +sed circa omnes Romani exercitus manipulos curavit deducendos; dein +interrogatos num ea satis considerassent, quae speculari erant iussi, +prandio dato incolumes dimisit.</p> + +<p>Scipioni in Africam advenienti Masinissa se coniunxit cum parva +equitum turma. Syphax vero a Romanis ad Poenos defecerat. Hasdrubal, +Poenorum dux, Syphaxque Scipioni se opposuerunt, qui utriusque castra +una nocte perrupit et incendit. Syphax ipse captus et vivus ad Scipionem +pertractus est. Syphacem in castra adduci cum esset nuntiatum, omnis +velut ad spectaculum triumphi multitudo effusa est; praecedebat ipse +vinctus, sequebatur grex nobilium Maurorum. Movebat omnes fortuna viri, +cuius amicitiam olim Scipio petierat. Regem aliosque captivos Romam +misit Scipio; Masinissam, qui egregie rem Romanam adiuverat, aurea +corona donavit.</p> + +<p>Haec et aliae, quae sequebantur, clades Carthaginiensibus tantum +terroris intulerunt, ut Hannibalem ex Italia ad tuendam patriam +revocarent. Frendens gemensque ac vix lacrimis temperans is dicitur +legatorum verba audisse mandatisque paruisse. Respexit saepe Italiae +litora, semet accusans, quod non victorem exercitum statim ab Cannensi +pugna Romam duxisset. Zamam venerat Hannibal, quae urbs quinque dierum +iter a Carthagine abest, et nuntium ad Scipionem misit ut conloquendi +secum potestatem faceret. Scipio cum conloquium haud abnuisset, dies +locusque constituitur. Itaque congressi sunt duo clarissimi suae aetatis +duces. Steterunt aliquamdiu taciti mutuaque admiratione defixi. Cum vero +de condicionibus pacis inter eos non convenisset, ad suos se receperunt, +renuntiantes armis decernendum esse. Commisso deinde proelio Hannibal +victus cum quattuor equitibus fugit. Ceterum constat utrumque de altero +confessum esse nec melius instrui aciem nec acrius potuisse pugnari.</p> + +<p>Carthaginienses metu perculsi ad petendam pacem oratores mittunt +triginta civitatis principes. Qui ubi in castra Romana venerunt, veniam +civitati petebant non culpam purgantes, sed initium culpae in Hannibalem +transferentes. Victis leges imposuit Scipio. Legati, cum nullas +condiciones recusarent, Romam profecti sunt, ut, quae a Scipione pacta +essent, ea patrum ac populi auctoritate confirmarentur. Ita pace terra +marique parta, Scipio exercitu in naves imposito Romam revertit. Ad quem +advenientem concursus ingens factus est; effusa non ex urbibus modo, sed +etiam ex agris multitudo viam obsidebat. Scipio inter gratulantium +plausus triumpho omnium clarissimo urbem est invectus primusque nomine +victae a se gentis est nobilitatus Africanusque appellatus.</p> + +<p>Ex his rebus gestis virum eum esse virtutis divinae vulgo creditum +est. Id etiam dicere haud piget, quod scriptores de eo litteris +mandaverunt, Scipionem consuevisse, priusquam dilucesceret, in +Capitolium ventitare ac iubere aperiri cellam Iovis ibi solum diu +demorari, quasi consultantem de re publica cum Iove: aedituosque eius +templi saepe esse miratos, quod eum id temporis in Capitolium +ingredientem canes, semper in alios saevientes, non latrarent. Has vulgi +de Scipione opiniones confirmare atque approbare videbantur dicta +factaque eius pleraque admiranda, ex quibus est unum huiuscemodi. +Adsidebat oppugnabatque oppidum in Hispania, situ moenibusque ac +defensoribus validum et munitum, re etiam cibaria copiosum, neque ulla +eius potiundi spes erat. Quodam die ius in castris sedens dicebat Scipio +atque ex eo loco id oppidum procul videbatur. Tum e militibus, qui in +iure apud eum stabant, interrogavit quispiam ex more in quem diem +locumque vades sisti iuberet. Et Scipio manum ad ipsam oppidi, quod +obsidebatur, arcem protendens, “Perendie” inquit “sese sistant illo in +loco,” atque ita factum. Die tertia, in quam vades sisti iusserat, +oppidum captum est. Eodem die in arce eius oppidi ius dixit.</p> + +<p>Hannibal, a Scipione victus suisque invisus, ad Antiochum, Syriae +regem, confugit eumque hostem Romanis fecit. Missi sunt Roma legati ad +Antiochum, in quibus erat Scipio Africanus, qui cum Hannibale Ephesi +conlocutus ab eo quaesivit, quem fuisse maximum imperatorem crederet. +Respondit Hannibal Alexandrum, Macedonum regem, maximum sibi videri, +quod parva manu innumerabiles exercitus fudisset. Quaerenti deinde, quem +secundum poneret, “Pyrrhum” inquit, “quod primus castra metari docuit +nemoque illo elegantius loca cepit et praesidia deposuit.” Sciscitanti +denique quem tertium duceret, semet ipsum dixit. Tum ridens Scipio +“Quidnam tu diceres” inquit “si me vicisses?” “Tum me vero” respondit +Hannibal “et ante Alexandrum et ante Pyrrhum et ante omnes alios +imperatores posuissem.” Ita improviso adsentationis genere Scipionem e +grege imperatorum velut inaestimabilem secernebat.</p> + +<p>Scipio ipse fertur quondam dixisse, cum eum quidam parum pugnacem +dicerent, “Imperatorem me mater, non bellatorem peperit.” Idem dicere +solitus est non solum dandam esse viam fugientibus, sed etiam +muniendam.</p> + +<p>Decreto adversus Antiochum bello cum Syria provincia obvenisset Lucio +Scipioni, quia parum in eo putabatur esse animi, parum roboris, senatus +gerendi huius belli curam mandari volebat conlegae eius C. Laelio. +Surgens tunc Scipio Africanus, frater maior Lucii Scipionis, illam +familiae ignominiam deprecatus est: dixit in fratre suo summam esse +virtutem, summum consilium seque ei legatum fore promisit. Quod cum ab +eo esset dictum, nihil est de Lucii Scipionis provincia commutatum: +itaque frater natu maior minori legatus in Asiam profectus est et tam +diu eum consilio operaque adiuvit, donec triumphum ille et cognomen +Asiatici peperisset.</p> + +<p>Eodem bello filius Scipionis Africani captus est et ad Antiochum +deductus.

Hi novi hostes, ab extremis +Germaniae finibus profugi, novas sedes quaerebant, exclusique Gallia et +Hispania cum in Italiam remigrarent, a Romanis ut aliquid sibi terrae +darent petierunt. Repulsi, quod nequiverant precibus, armis petere +constituunt. Tres duces Romani impetus barbarorum non sustinuerunt. +Omnes fugati, exuti castris. Actum erat de imperio Romano, nisi Marius +fuisset. Hic primo Teutones sub ipsis Alpium radicibus adsecutus proelio +oppressit. Vallem fluviumque medium hostes tenebant: Romanis aquarum +nulla copia. Aucta necessitate virtus causa victoriae fuit. Nam +flagitante aquam exercitu Marius “Viri” inquit “estis, en illic aquam +habetis.” Itaque tanto ardore pugnatum est eaque caedes hostium fuit, ut +Romani victores de cruento flumine non plus aquae biberent quam +sanguinis barbarorum. Caesa traduntur hostium ducenta milia, capta +nonaginta. Rex ipse Teutobochus in proximo saltu comprehensus insigne +spectaculum triumphi fuit: quippe vir proceritatis eximiae super tropaea +ipsa eminebat.</p> + +<p>Deletis Teutonibus, C. Marius in Cimbros se convertit. Qui cum ex +alia parte Italiam ingressi Athesim flumen non ponte nec navibus, sed +iniectis arborum truncis, velut aggere, traiecissent, occurrit iis +C. Marius. Cimbri legatos ad consulem miserunt, agros urbesque sibi +et fratribus postulantes, Teutonum enim cladem ignorabant. Quaerente +Mario quos illi fratres dicerent, cum Teutones nominassent, ridens +Marius “Omittite” inquit “fratres; tenent hi acceptam a nobis terram +aeternumque tenebunt.” Tum legati se ludibrio haberi sentientes ultionem +Mario minati sunt, simul atque Teutones advenissent. “Atqui adsunt” +inquit Marius “nec sane civile foret vos fratribus vestris non salutatis +discedere.” Tum vinctos adduci iussit Teutonum duces, qui in proelio +capti erant.</p> + +<p>His rebus auditis, Cimbri egrediuntur castris et cum paucis suorum ad +vallum Romanum adequitans Boiorix, Cimbrorum dux, Marium ad pugnam +provocat et diem pugnae a Romanorum imperatore petit. Proximum dedit +consul. Marius cum aciem ita instituisset, ut pulvis in oculos et ora +hostium ferretur, incredibili strage prostrata est illa Cimbrorum +multitudo: caesa traduntur centum octoginta hominum milia. Nec minor cum +uxoribus pugna quam cum viris fuit, cum obiectis undique plaustris, +desuper, quasi e turribus, lanceis contisque pugnarent. Victae tamen cum +missa ad Marium legatione libertatem non impetrassent, suffocatis +elisisque infantibus suis aut mutuis conciderunt vulneribus aut vinculo +e crinibus suis facto ab arboribus pependerunt. Canes quoque defendere, +Cimbris caesis, eorum domos. Marius pro duobus triumphis, qui +offerebantur, uno contentus fuit. Primores civitatis, qui ei aliquamdiu +ut novo homini ad tantos honores evecto inviderant, conservatam ab eo +rem publicam fatebantur. In ipsa acie Marius duas Camertium cohortes, +mira virtute vim Cimbrorum sustinentes contra legem civitate donaverat. +Quod quidem factum et vere et egregie postea excusavit, dicens inter +armorum strepitum verba se iuris civilis exaudire non potuisse.</p> + +<p>Illa tempestate primum Romae bellum civile commotum est. Causam bello +dedit C. Marius. Cum enim Sulla consul contra Mithridatem, regem +Ponti, missus fuisset, Sulpicius, tribunus plebis, legem ad populum +tulit ut Sullae imperium abrogaretur, C. Mario bellum decerneretur +Mithridaticum. Qua re Sulla commotus cum exercitu ad urbem venit, eam +armis occupavit, Sulpicium interfecit, Marium fugavit. Marius hostes +persequentes fugiens aliquamdiu in palude delituit.

Marius “Abi” inquit, “nuntia vidisse te +Gaium Marium in Carthaginis ruinis sedentem.” Duobus clarissimis +exemplis de inconstantia rerum humanarum eum admonebat, cum et urbis +maximae excidium et viri clarissimi casum ante oculos poneret.</p> + +<p>Profecto ad bellum Mithridaticum Sulla, Marius revocatus a Cinna in +Italiam rediit, efferatus magis calamitate quam domitus.

Nihil autem ea victoria fuit +crudelius. Sulla, urbem ingressus et dictator creatus, vel in eos, qui +se sponte dediderant, iussit animadverti. Quattuor milia deditorum +inermium civium in Circo interfici iussit.

Novo et inaudito exemplo tabulam proscriptionis proposuit, +qua nomina eorum, qui occidendi essent, continebantur; cumque omnium +orta esset indignatio, postridie plura etiam adiecit nomina. Ingens +caesorum fuit multitudo. Nec solum in eos saevivit, qui armis contra se +dimicavissent, sed etiam quieti animi cives propter pecuniae +magnitudinem proscriptorum numero adiecit.

Deinde cum +litterae ei a Sulla redditae essent, quibus exercitu dimisso cum una +legione successorem exspectare iubebatur, Pompeius, quamquam aegre id +ferebat, tamen paruit et Romam revertit. Revertenti incredibilis hominum +multitudo obviam ivit; Sulla quoque laetus eum excepit et Magni +cognomine consalutavit. Nihilo minus Pompeio triumphum petenti restitit: +neque vero ea re a proposito deterritus est Pompeius aususque dicere +plures adorare solem orientem quam occidentem: quo dicto innuebat Sullae +potentiam minui, suam crescere. Ea voce audita Sulla, confidentia +adulescentis perculsus, “Triumphet! triumphet!” exclamavit.</p> + +<p>Metello iam seni et bellum in Hispania segnius gerenti conlega datus +Pompeius adversus Sertorium vario eventu dimicavit. Maximum ibi in +proelio quodam periculum subiit: cum enim vir vasta corporis magnitudine +impetum in eum fecisset, Pompeius manum amputavit; sed multis in eum +concurrentibus vulnus in femore accepit et a suis fugientibus desertus +in hostium potestate erat. At praeter spem evasit: barbari enim equum +eius auro phalerisque eximiis instructum ceperant. Dum igitur praedam +inter se altercantes partiuntur, Pompeius eorum manus effugit. Altero +proelio cum Metellus Pompeio laboranti auxilio venisset, Sertorius +recedere coactus dixisse fertur: “Nisi anus illa supervenisset, ego hunc +puerum verberibus castigatum Romam dimisissem.” Metellum anum +appellabat, quia is, iam senex, ad mollem et effeminatam vitam +deflexerat. Sertorio interfecto Pompeius Hispaniam recepit.</p> + +<p>Cum piratae illa tempestate maria omnia infestarent et quasdam etiam +Italiae urbes diripuissent, ad eos opprimendos cum imperio +extraordinario missus est Pompeius. Nimiae viri potentiae obsistebant +quidam ex optimatibus et imprimis Quintus Catulus. Qui cum in contione +dixisset esse quidem praeclarum virum Cn. Pompeium, sed non esse uni +omnia tribuenda, adiecissetque: “Si quid huic acciderit, quem in eius +locum substituetis?” summo consensu succlamavit universa contio, “Te, +Quinte Catule.” Tam honorifico civium testimonio victus Catulus e +contione discessit. Pompeius, dispositis per omnes maris recessus +navibus, brevi terrarum orbem illa peste liberavit; praedones multis +locis victos fudit; eosdem in deditionem acceptos in urbibus et agris +procul a mari conlocavit. Nihil hac victoria celerius, nam intra +quadragesimum diem piratas toto mari expulit.</p> + +<p>Confecto bello piratico, Gnaeus Pompeius contra Mithridatem profectus +in Asiam magna celeritate contendit. Proelium cum rege conserere +cupiebat, neque opportuna dabatur pugnandi facultas, quia Mithridates +interdiu castris se continebat, noctu vero haud tutum erat congredi cum +hoste in locis ignotis. Nocte tamen aliquando cum Pompeius Mithridatem +aggressus esset, luna magno fuit Romanis adiumento. Quam cum Romani a +tergo haberent, umbrae corporum longius proiectae ad primos usque +hostium ordines pertinebant, unde decepti regii milites in umbras, +tamquam in propinquum hostem, tela mittebant. Victus Mithridates in +Pontum profugit. Pharnaces filius bellum ei intulit, qui, occisis a +patre fratribus, vitae suae ipse timebat. Mithridates a filio obsessus +venenum sumpsit; quod cum tardius subiret, quia adversus venena multis +antea medicamentis corpus firmaverat, a milite Gallo, a quo ut adiuvaret +se petierat, interfectus est.</p> + +<p>Tigrani deinde, Armeniae regi, qui Mithridatis partes secutus erat, +Pompeius bellum intulit eumque ad deditionem compulit. Qui cum +procubuisset ad genua Pompei, eum erexit, et benignis verbis recreatum +diadema, quod abiecerat, capiti reponere iussit, aeque pulchrum esse +iudicans et vincere reges et facere. Inde in Iudaeam profectus Romanorum +primus Iudaeos domuit, Hierosolyma, caput gentis, cepit, templumque iure +victoriae ingressus est. Rebus Asiae compositis, in Italiam versus ad +urbem venit, non, ut plerique timuerant, armatus, sed dimisso exercitu, +et tertium triumphum biduo duxit. Insignis fuit multis novis +inusitatisque ornamentis hic triumphus; sed nihil inlustrius visum, quam +quod tribus triumphis tres orbis partes devictae causam praebuerant: +Pompeius enim, quod antea contigerat nemini, primum ex Africa, iterum ex +Europa, tertio ex Asia triumphavit, felix opinione hominum futurus, si, +quem gloriae, eundem vitae finem habuisset neque adversam fortunam esset +expertus iam senex.</p> + +<p>Posteriore enim tempore orta inter Pompeium et Caesarem gravi +dissensione, quod hic superiorem, ille parem ferre non posset, bellum +civile exarsit. Caesar infesto exercitu in Italiam venit. Pompeius, +relicta urbe ac deinde Italia ipsa, Thessaliam petit et cum eo consules +senatusque omnis: quem insecutus Caesar apud Pharsalum acie fudit. +Victus Pompeius ad Ptolemaeum, Aegypti regem, cui tutor a senatu datus +erat, profugit, qui Pompeium interfici iussit. Latus Pompei sub oculis +uxoris et liberorum mucrone confossum est, caput praecisum, truncus in +Nilum coniectus. Deinde caput cum anulo ad Caesarem delatum est, qui eo +viso lacrimas non continens illud multis pretiosissimisque odoribus +cremandum curavit.</p> + +<p>Is fuit Pompei post tres consulatus et totidem triumphos vitae +exitus. Erant in Pompeio multae et magnae virtutes ac praecipue +admiranda frugalitas. Cum ei aegrotanti praecepisset medicus ut turdum +ederet, negarent autem servi eam avem usquam aestivo tempore posse +reperiri, nisi apud Lucullum, qui turdos domi saginaret, vetuit Pompeius +turdum inde peti, medicoque dixit: “Ergo, nisi Lucullus perditus +deliciis esset, non viveret Pompeius?” Aliam avem, quae parabilis esset, +sibi iussit apponi.</p> + +<p>Viris doctis magnum honorem habebat Pompeius. Ex Syria decedens, +confecto bello Mithridatico, cum Rhodum venisset, Posidonium cupiit +audire; sed cum audivisset eum graviter esse aegrum, quod vehementer +eius artus laborarent, voluit tamen nobilissimum philosophum visere. Mos +erat ut, consule aedes aliquas ingressuro, lictor fores percuteret, +admonens consulem adesse, at Pompeius fores Posidonii percuti honoris +causa vetuit. Quem ut vidit et salutavit, moleste se dixit ferre, quod +eum non posset audire. At ille “Tu vero” inquit “potes, nec committam ut +dolor corporis efficiat ut frustra tantus vir ad me venerit.” Itaque +cubans graviter et copiose de hoc ipso disputavit: nihil esse bonum nisi +quod honestum esset, nihil malum dici posse, quod turpe non esset. Cum +vero dolores acriter eum pungerent, saepe “Nihil agis,” inquit “dolor! +quamvis sis molestus, numquam te esse malum confitebor.”</p> + + +<h4> +<a class = "float" href = "#selection_XXVII">As printed</a> +<a name = "stripped_XXVII" id = "stripped_XXVII">XXVII.</a> +Gaius Iulius Caesar</h4> + +<p>C.

Uxor +Calpurnia, territa nocturno visu, ut Idibus Martiis domi subsisteret +orabat et Spurinna haruspex praedixerat ut proximos dies triginta quasi +fatales caveret, quorum ultimus erat Idus Martiae. Hoc igitur die Caesar +Spurinnae “Ecquid scis” inquit “Idus Martias iam venisse?” et is “Ecquid +scis illas nondum praeterisse?” Atque cum Caesar eo die in senatum +venisset, adsidentem conspirati specie officii circumsteterunt ilicoque +unus, quasi aliquid rogaturus, propius accessit renuentique ab utroque +umero togam apprehendit. Deinde clamantem “Ista quidem vis est!” Casca, +unus e coniuratis, adversum vulnerat paulum infra iugulum. Caesar Cascae +bracchium adreptum graphio traiecit conatusque prosilire alio vulnere +tardatus est. Dein ut animadvertit undique se strictis pugionibus peti, +toga caput obvolvit et ita tribus et viginti plagis confossus est. Cum +Marcum Brutum, quem filii loco habebat in se inruentem vidisset, dixisse +fertur: “Tu quoque, mi fili!”</p> + +<p>Illud inter omnes fere constitit talem ei mortem paene ex sententia +obtigisse.

Percussorum autem neque triennio +quisquam amplius supervixit neque sua morte defunctus est. Damnati omnes +alius alio casu perierunt, pars naufragio, pars proelio; nonnulli semet +eodem illo pugione, quo Caesarem violaverant, interemerunt.</p> + +<p>Quo rarior in regibus et principibus viris moderatio, hoc laudanda +magis est.

Inde eloquentiae causa Rhodum se contulit, ubi Molonem, Graecum +rhetorem tum disertissimum, magistrum habuit.

Cicero quidem +summo studio enitebatur ut eos inter se reconciliaret et a belli civilis +calamitatibus deterreret, sed cum neutrum ad pacem ineundam permovere +posset, Pompeium secutus est. Sed victo Pompeio, a Caesare victore +veniam ultro accepit.

Postea vero, cum Caesar superbia elatus senatum contemnere et +regnum adfectare coepisset, populus, praesenti statu haud laetus, +vindicem libertatis requirebat. Subscripsere quidam L.

Postero igitur die magnificam alias cenam, sed +cottidianam Antonio apposuit inridenti, quod promisso stare non +potuisset. At illa inferri mensam secundam iussit. Ex praecepto ministri +unum tantum vas ante eam posuere aceti, cuius asperitas visque +margaritas resolvit. Exspectante igitur Antonio quidnam esset actura, +margaritam, quam auribus gerebat, detraxit et aceto liquefactam +absorbuit.

Cleopatra, quam Octavianus, Alexandrea in +potestatem redacta, magno opere cupiebat vivam comprehendi triumphoque +servari, aspidem sibi adferendam curavit eiusque morsu periit. +Cleopatrae mortuae communem cum Antonio sepulturam tribuit.</p> + +<p>Tandem Octavianus, hostibus victis solus imperio potitus, clementem +se exhibuit. Omnia deinceps in eo plena mansuetudinis et humanitatis. +Multis ignovit vel iis qui saepe graviter eum offenderant. Reversus in +Italiam triumphans Romam ingressus est. Tum bellis toto orbe compositis +Iani gemini portas sua manu clausit, quae bis tantum antea clausae +fuerant, primum sub Numa rege, iterum post primum Punicum bellum. Tunc +omnes praeteritorum malorum oblivio cepit populusque Romanus praesentis +otii laetitia perfruebatur. Octaviano maximi honores a senatu delati +sunt. Ipse Augustus cognominatus et in honorem eius mensis Sextilis +eodem nomine appellatus est, quod illo mense bellis civilibus finis +esset impositus. Patris patriae cognomen universi maximo consensu +detulerunt ei. Deferentibus lacrimans respondit Augustus his verbis: +“Compos factus votorum meorum, patres conscripti, quid habeo aliud, quod +deos immortales precer, quam ut hunc consensum vestrum ad ultimum vitae +finem mihi perferre liceat!”</p> + +<p>Dictaturam magna vi offerente populo deprecatus est. Domini +appellationem semper exhorruit eamque sibi tribui edicto vetuit. Immo de +restituenda re publica non semel cogitavit, sed reputans et se privatum +non sine periculo fore, et rem publicam plurium arbitrio commissum iri, +summam retinuit potestatem, id vero studuit ne quem novi status +paeniteret. Bene de iis etiam, quos adversarios expertus erat, et +sentiebat et loquebatur. Legentem aliquando unum e nepotibus invenit; +cumque puer territus volumen Ciceronis, quod manu tenebat, veste +tegeret, Augustus librum cepit eoque statim reddito, “Hic vir,” inquit +“fili mi, doctus fuit et patriae amans.”</p> + +<p>Pedibus saepe per urbem incedebat summaque comitate adeuntes +excipiebat. Convenit aliquando eum veteranus miles, qui vocatus in ius +periclitabatur rogavitque ut sibi adesset. Statim Augustus unum e +comitatu suo elegit advocatum, qui litigatorem commendaret. Tum +veteranus exclamavit: “At non ego, te periclitante bello Actiaco, +vicarium quaesivi, sed ipse pro te pugnavi,” simulque detexit +cicatrices. Erubuit Augustus atque ipse venit in advocationem.</p> + +<p>Cum post Actiacam victoriam Octavianus Romam reverteretur, occurrit +ei inter gratulantes opifex quidam corvum tenens, quem instituerat haec +dicere: “Ave, Caesar, victor, imperator!” Miratus Caesar officiosam avem +viginti milibus nummorum emit. Socius opificis, ad quem nihil ex illa +liberalitate pervenerat, adfirmavit Caesari habere illum et alium +corvum, quem ut adferre cogeretur rogavit. Adlatus verba, quae +didicerat, expressit: “Ave, Antoni, victor, imperator!” Nihil +exasperatus Caesar satis duxit iubere illum dividere donativum cum +contubernali. Salutatus similiter a psittaco emi eum iussit.</p> + +<p>Exemplum sutorem pauperem sollicitavit ut corvum institueret ad parem +salutationem. Qui impendio exhaustus saepe ad avem non respondentem +dicere solebat “Opera et impensa periit!” Aliquando tamen corvus coepit +dicere dictam salutationem. Hac audita, dum transit, Augustus respondit: +“Satis domi talium salutatorum habeo.” Superfuit corvo memoria, ut et +illa, quibus dominum querentem solebat audire, subtexeret: “Opera et +impensa periit.” Ad quod Caesar risit emique avem iussit, quanti nullam +ante emerat.</p> + +<p>Solebat Graeculus quidam descendenti e palatio Caesari honorificum +aliquod epigramma porrigere. Id cum frustra saepe fecisset et tamen +rursus eum idem facturum duxisset Augustus, breve sua manu in charta +exaravit Graecum epigramma et Graeculo advenienti obviam misit. Ille +inter legendum laudare mirarique tam voce quam vultu gestuque. Deinde +cum accessisset ad sellam, qua Caesar vehebatur, demissa in pauperem +crumenam manu paucos denarios protulit, quos principi daret, dixitque se +plus daturum fuisse, si plus habuisset. Secuto omnium risu, +dispensatorem Caesar vocavit et satis grandem pecuniae summam numerari +Graeculo iussit.</p> + +<p>Augustus fere nulli se invitanti negabat. Exceptus igitur a quodam +cena satis parca et paene cottidiana, hoc tantum insusurravit: “Non +putabam me tibi esse tam familiarem.” Cum aliquando apud Pollionem +quendam cenaret fregissetque unus e servis vas crystallinum, rapi eum ad +mortem Pollio iussit et obici muraenis quas ingens piscina continebat. +Evasit e manibus puer et ad pedes Caesaris confugit, nihil aliud +petiturus quam ut aliter periret nec esca piscium fieret. Motus est novo +crudelitatis genere Caesar et illum quidem mitti, crystallina autem +omnia coram se frangi iussit complerique piscinam.</p> + +<p>Augustus in quadam villa aegrotans noctes inquietas agebat, rumpente +somnum eius crebro noctuae cantu. Qua molestia cum liberari se +vehementer cupere significasset, miles quidam, aucupii peritus, noctuam +prehendendam curavit, vivamque Augusto attulit, spe ingentis praemii. +Cui cum Augustus mille nummos dari iussisset, ille minus dignum praemium +existimans dicere ausus est: “Malo ut vivat,” et avem dimisit. +Imperatori nec ad irascendum causa deerat nec ad ulciscendum potestas: +hanc tamen iniuriam aequo animo tulit Augustus hominemque impunitum +abire passus est.</p> + +<p>Augustus amicitias neque facile admisit et constantissime retinuit. +Imprimis familiarem habuit Maecenatem, equitem Romanum; qui ea, qua apud +principem valebat, gratia ita semper usus est, ut prodesset omnibus, +quibus posset, noceret nemini. Ius aliquando dicebat Augustus et multos +capite damnaturus videbatur. Aderat tum Maecenas, qui per circumstantium +turbam perrumpere et ad tribunal propius accedere conabatur. Quod cum +frustra tentasset, haec verba in tabella scripsit: “Surge tandem, +carnifex!” eamque tabellam ad Augustum proiecit. Qua lecta is statim +surrexit neque quisquam est morte multatus.</p> + +<p>Habitavit Augustus in aedibus modicis, neque laxitate neque cultu +conspicuis, ac per annos amplius quadraginta in eodem cubiculo hieme et +aestate mansit. Suppellex quoque eius vix privatae elegantiae erat. Raro +veste alia usus est quam confecta ab uxore, sorore, filia neptibusque. +Item tamen Romam, quam pro maiestate imperii non satis ornatam +invenerat, adeo excoluit, ut iure gloriaretur marmoream se relinquere, +quam latericiam accepisset.</p> + +<p>Forma fuit Augustus eximia et per omnes aetatis gradus venustissima. +Erat tamen omnis lenocinii neglegens et in capite comendo tam +incuriosus, ut eo ipso tempore, quo illud tonsoribus committeret, aut +legeret aliquid aut etiam scriberet.</p> + +<p>Paucis annis antequam moreretur, gravissimam in Germania accepit +cladem, tribus legionibus cum duce Varo legatisque et auxiliis omnibus +caesis. Hac nuntiata excubias per urbem indixit, ne quis tumultus +exsisteret, et magnos ludos Iovi optimo maximo vovit, si res publica in +meliorem statum vertisset. Adeo denique consternatum ferunt, ut, per +continuos menses barba capilloque submisso, caput interdum foribus +inlideret, vociferans: “Quintili Vare, legiones redde!” diemque cladis +quotannis maestum habuerit ac lugubrem.</p> + +<p>Tandem adflicta valetudine in Campaniam concessit, ubi, remisso ad +otium animo, nullo hilaritatis genere abstinuit.

After the +battle of Cannae, some young men +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page124" id = "page124">124</a> +of rank began to form plans for abandoning Italy. 4. Scipio hastened to +their meeting-place, and, although<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_2" id += "tag_xxi_2" href = "#note_xxi_2">2</a> he was alone, he forced them to +give<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_3" id = "tag_xxi_3" href = +"#note_xxi_3">3</a> up their conspiracy.<a class = "tag" href = +"#note_xxi_3">3</a> 5. After the Romans had suffered two defeats in +Spain, Scipio was chosen proconsul and sent thither. 6. Here he +prosecuted the war with such wisdom and bravery that he earned the +approval of all. 7. Do you not think that he was worthy of the honor? 8. +He gained possession of a large amount of money and arms, but let the +Spanish captives go without ransom. 9. He did not doubt that in this way +he would secure for the Romans the favor of the Spanish [conciliate the +Spanish to the Romans]. 10. Among the captive Africans he found a boy of +remarkable beauty,<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_4" id = "tag_xxi_4" +href = "#note_xxi_4">4</a> who said that his grandfather was the king of +Numidia, and that he had crossed over into Spain with his uncle +Masinissa to carry on war with the Romans. 11. Scipio freed the boy, and +thus won the favor of the Numidian king. 12. When the Spaniards wanted +to call Scipio king, he asked them to refrain from that title. 13. After +Hannibal had been driven from Spain, Scipio, who had<a class = "tag" +name = "tag_xxi_5" id = "tag_xxi_5" href = "#note_xxi_5">5</a> long been +planning to transfer the war to Africa, sent Laelius, whose<a class = +"tag" name = "tag_xxi_6" id = "tag_xxi_6" href = "#note_xxi_6">6</a> +friendship he did not mistrust, to win over some of the African chiefs. +14. Afterwards he crossed over to Africa himself, and it is said that he +met Hannibal [to him a meeting with Hannibal to have been] at the court +of Syphax. 15. It happened that many of those chiefs were eager to form +an alliance with Scipio. 16. His plan, therefore, was easily carried +out. 17. Although the young men of Sicily shrank from so great a war +themselves, still they were willing to furnish horses and arms. 18. +Although they were wealthy, they were not (men) of great bravery. 19. In +Africa the Romans fought with such determination that in a short time +the Carthaginians recalled +<a class = "pagenum" name = "page125" id = "page125">125</a> +Hannibal from Italy to defend his country. 20. A battle was fought [it +was fought] at Zama, a town five days’ march from Carthage. 21. The +Carthaginians were defeated, and forced to send ambassadors to sue for +peace. 22. As peace was now secured, Scipio returned to Italy. 23. On<a +class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_7" id = "tag_xxi_7" href = +"#note_xxi_7">7</a> his arrival in Rome a vast multitude poured forth to +meet him. 24. Scipio was not only the most illustrious general of his +age, but he was also a man distinguished for [of distinguished] piety.<a +class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_8" id = "tag_xxi_8" href = +"#note_xxi_8">8</a> 25. The old writers say that he used to visit +[resort to] the capitol every day, to consult with Jupiter about the +public interests. 26. At Ephesus he<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_9" +id = "tag_xxi_9" href = "#note_xxi_9">9</a> afterwards had a +conversation with Hannibal. 27. It is reported that Hannibal +acknowledged that Scipio was the greatest of all commanders. 28. When +the senate seemed on the point<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_10" id = +"tag_xxi_10" href = "#note_xxi_10">10</a> of transferring the conduct of +the war against Antiochus from Lucius Scipio to Laelius, because +(as was thought) the former<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxi_11" id += "tag_xxi_11" href = "#note_xxi_11">11</a> had too little courage and +too little wisdom for such a war, Africanus promised to be himself his +brother’s lieutenant. 29. Scipio could endure no dishonor to his family. +30. After Antiochus had been defeated, when the senate demanded from +Lucius Scipio an accounting of the spoils, Africanus prevented it. 31. +He said that he had been of [for] so great aid to his country that his +integrity ought not to be doubted. 32. It happened that Africanus +himself was afterwards summoned for trial by the tribunes on the very +day on which the battle of Zama had been fought.<a class = "tag" name = +"tag_xxi_12" id = "tag_xxi_12" href = "#note_xxi_12">12</a> 33.

She +has justly been considered one of the wisest women of that age. 6. +Though her sons were most worthy of their excellent mother, yet the +nobles thought that they were disturbing the republic. 7. Both of the +Gracchi thought more of [preferred] their country’s safety than [to] +their own lives. 8. Tiberius tried to protect the common people, but the +senate thought that he was preparing for himself a way to regal power. +9. So Nasica urged<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxii_2" id = "tag_xxii_2" +href = "#note_xxii_2">2</a> all loyal citizens to follow him. 10.

Thus he +persuaded the people to make<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxiii_2" id = +"tag_xxiii_2" href = "#note_xxiii_2">2</a> him consul. 7. After Jugurtha +had been conquered, he carried on war with the Cimbri and Teutones. 8. +His soldiers entreated Marius to lead them against the enemy. 9. The +battle was fought right at the foot of the Alps. 10. As the Romans<a +class = "tag" name = "tag_xxiii_3" id = "tag_xxiii_3" href = +"#note_xxiii_3">3</a> had no water, Marius told his soldiers that, if +they conquered<a class = "tag" name = "tag_xxiii_4" id = "tag_xxiii_4" +href = "#note_xxiii_4">4</a> the enemy, they would have abundance of +water. 11. It is said that after the battle the soldiers drank no less +blood than water, because the river was filled with the bodies of the +slain. 12. The Cimbri, having now entered Italy, sent messengers to +Marius to ask him to give them some land. 13.

It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/33311-h/images/decline1.png b/33311-h/images/decline1.png Binary files differnew file mode
