Sergius Catilina, the author of the conspiracy against which they +were directed, was descended from one of the oldest patrician families +of Rome, though for many years no one of his house had held any public +office. He was a man of ambitious and energetic disposition, +distinguished among his contemporaries for great powers both of mind and +body, which enabled him to exercise a remarkable degree of influence +over others<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a>. At the same time he was notorious for the dissoluteness +and extravagance of his life, which were excessive even in an age when +such characteristics were common; he was, moreover, suspected of grave +crimes, such as the murder of his wife and son. But as these charges +rest to a great extent upon the authority of his opponent Cicero, it is +possible that they have been exaggerated.</p> + +<p>He was born probably about <span class="smcap">b.c.</span> 108, though the exact date is unknown. +His first appearance in public life was during the dictatorship of Sulla +(<span class="smcap">b.c.</span> 82-79). When the latter issued his proscription list, Catilina was +among those who took an active part in carrying out the work of +bloodshed and confiscation. This, however, was from personal motives, +and not from any sympathy with the Senatorial party which had triumphed +under Sulla; for he subsequently attached himself entirely to the +popular side.</p> + +<p>In <span class="smcap">b.c.</span> 68 he filled the office of Praetor in Rome; the following year +he governed the province of Africa as Propraetor. Immediately on his +return home he became a candidate for the Consulship for the year 65<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a>.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span> +He was obliged, however, to withdraw, as an indictment for extortion in +his province was brought against him, and Roman law did not allow a +citizen against whom a legal suit was pending to be a candidate for any +magistracy. It so happened that the Consuls elect for 65, Autronius +Paetus and Cornelius Sulla, were convicted of bribery. Their election +consequently became void, and L. Aurelius Cotta and L. Manlius Torquatus +were declared Consuls in their stead. Enraged at his disappointment, +Autronius entered into communication with Catilina, and the two, in +conjunction with Cn. Piso and others, formed a plot, sometimes known as +the 'First Catilinarian conspiracy.' The intention was, it is said, to +murder Cotta and Torquatus on the day of their entering upon office +(January 1, 65). Catilina and Autronius were then to proclaim themselves +Consuls, while they were to be supported by an army which Piso was to +raise on their behalf in Spain. The execution of this plot was +postponed, however, until February 5, when it failed, as we are told, +through Catilina's impatience in giving the signal too soon, before the +armed bands on which he relied had collected in sufficient number. It is +to this conspiracy that Cicero alludes in Cat. 1. §15. It was asserted +that both Caesar and Crassus were concerned in it, but the facts are +surrounded by a great deal of mystery. Whatever the design was, it came +to nothing, and the Senate did not take steps against anyone in +consequence.</p> + +<p>During this year (65) Catilina was acquitted on the charge of extortion. +The trial had, however, been postponed long enough to prevent him from +standing for the Consulship for the year 64.</p> + +<p>He was obliged, therefore, to postpone his candidature till the next +year, when he had among his competitors M. Tullius Cicero and C. +Antonius Hybrida, of whom the latter was believed to be partly in +sympathy with him. He was known to entertain revolutionary designs of +the most sweeping<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span> character, which he hoped as Consul to carry out. +Prominent among these was a declaration of <i>novae tabulae</i><a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a>, or +general cancelling of debts, and a wholesale confiscation of property. +Many of the Roman aristocracy were hopelessly in debt, and he thus +collected round him a numerous body of adherents, partly composed of +those to whom his designs seemed to promise relief from their +embarrassments, partly also of wild and turbulent spirits to whom any +prospect of revolution was welcome. Alarmed at these schemes, the +Optimates<a name="FNanchor_4_4" id="FNanchor_4_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_4_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> threw their influence upon the side of Cicero, overcoming +their natural jealousy of a <i>novus homo</i>, that is, one whose ancestors +had never held any curule office. He was also strongly supported by the +Equites<a name="FNanchor_5_5" id="FNanchor_5_5"></a><a href="#Footnote_5_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a>, who, as the wealthiest class in Rome, were naturally most +opposed to any general attack upon property. Accordingly, he was elected +by a large majority. Antonius was returned as his colleague by a small +majority over Catilina.</p> + +<p>Defeated in his immediate object, Catilina began to entertain the idea +of carrying out his designs by force. The time was eminently favourable +for an armed insurrection against the government. Seventeen years +before, Sulla had rewarded the soldiers of his victorious army by +establishing them in colonies in various parts of Italy, and assigning +them allotments of land. Unsuited for an agricultural life, these men +had for the most part mismanaged their farms and exhausted their +resources. Accordingly they were restless and discontented, and desired +nothing so much as a return of the civil wars, with fresh chances of +plunder. From among these and other discontented spirits, Catilina began +secretly to recruit and organize<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span> an army, selecting as his leader one +Manlius, who had served with distinction under Sulla as centurion. At +the same time he opened secret negotiations with the schools of +gladiators in different parts of Italy. Thus prepared, he again stood +for the Consulship for the year 62; his intention being to bring about a +general rising if he should be once more defeated.</p> + +<p>The situation of the government was dangerous in the extreme, for there +was no regular army in Italy, and the only general of distinction, Cn. +Pompeius, was absent in the East, where after bringing the third +Mithridatic war to a close (65) he was occupied in settling the affairs +of Syria, and could not be expected to return for some time.</p> + +<p>Cicero, however, was kept accurately informed of the progress of the +conspiracy. One of its members, Q. Curius, had talked of the plot to his +mistress Fulvia. She had not kept the secret; and Cicero, employing her +as his agent, had induced Curius by large promises to reveal to him all +the details. The consular elections were this year postponed somewhat +beyond their usual time. On the day before they should have been held, +Cicero induced the Senate to resolve that they should on the next day, +instead of holding the election, take into consideration the state of +public affairs. He thereupon revealed to them what he knew of the +conspiracy, and invited Catilina to clear himself of the charges against +him. The latter replied in threatening language; but, notwithstanding +his violence, the Senate took no decisive resolution<a name="FNanchor_6_6" id="FNanchor_6_6"></a><a href="#Footnote_6_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a>. Shortly +afterwards the elections were held; Cicero appearing with a cuirass +under his toga, and surrounded by a guard of his friends, to testify to +the designs upon his life<a name="FNanchor_7_7" id="FNanchor_7_7"></a><a href="#Footnote_7_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a>. Catilina was again defeated, and D. Junius +Silanus and L. Licinius Murena elected as Consuls for 62.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span></p><p>Thus once more foiled, Catilina resolved to proceed to active measures. +Alarmed at the news that an army was actually collecting in Etruria, and +roused by further disclosures from Cicero<a name="FNanchor_8_8" id="FNanchor_8_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_8_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a>, the Senate, on October 21, +passed what was known as the 'Ultimum Decretum;' '<i>videant consules ne +quid detrimenti respublica capiat</i>.' This, the usual formula in cases of +emergency, declared the State to be in danger, and called on the Consuls +as the executive magistrates to take measures for its safety. Whether it +actually conferred any additional powers upon them, is not certain<a name="FNanchor_9_9" id="FNanchor_9_9"></a><a href="#Footnote_9_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a>. +At the same time they placed the gladiatorial schools under strict +surveillance, established patrols in the city, and offered large rewards +for information. The praetors, Q. Pompeius Rufus and Q. Metellus Celer, +were sent to Capua and Picenum respectively to raise what troops they +could. Cicero had already detached his colleague Antonius from the +conspiracy, and induced him to support the cause of order, by ceding to +him the lucrative province of Macedonia<a name="FNanchor_10_10" id="FNanchor_10_10"></a><a href="#Footnote_10_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a>.</p> + +<p>On October 27 Manlius set up his standard at Faesulae in Etruria. +Catilina proposed to go thither himself shortly; he was anxious however +to conceal his designs as long as possible, and having been indicted for +inciting to riot (<i>de vi</i>) by L. Paullus, he had offered to place +himself in free custody<a name="FNanchor_11_11" id="FNanchor_11_11"></a><a href="#Footnote_11_11" class="fnanchor">[11]</a> under the charge of some citizen of +reputation in order to disarm suspicion.</p> + +<p>On the night of November 6, he assembled his partisans in the house of +M. Porcius Laeca. There he disclosed his plans, and declared it to be +essential to success that Cicero should be removed before his own +departure. Two of his adherents, C. Cornelius and L. Vargunteius, +undertook the duty of visiting Cicero's house in the early morning, +under pretence of giving the customary salutation, and there murdering +him.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span></p><p>The attempt was actually made, though probably not until the morning of +November 8<a name="FNanchor_12_12" id="FNanchor_12_12"></a><a href="#Footnote_12_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a>. But Cicero, who was informed of the plot through the +agency previously described, refused his visitors admittance. He +immediately summoned the Senate to meet, for the sake of safety, in the +temple of Jupiter Stator on the Palatine. The equites thronged the hill +in large numbers, to secure the safety of the Consul, and to protest +against the designs of the conspirators. Catilina did not scruple to +attend, whereupon Cicero rose, and delivered the speech known as the +<i>First Catilinarian Oration</i>. He revealed to the Senate all the +particulars of the plot, including the attempt upon his own life, +denounced Catilina as a public enemy, and called upon him to leave the +city. His adversary attempted a few words of exculpation, but the +feeling roused by the Consul's address was too strong, and finding +himself assailed on all sides by reproaches, he left the Senate +abruptly, declaring that his enemies were driving him to ruin, but that +if he was to fall he would involve others in his overthrow. The same +evening he left the city for Etruria, travelling by the Via Aurelia, +which was the coast road, in order to create the impression that he was +going into exile at Massilia. He left in the city a large number of +adherents, the chief of whom was Cornelius Lentulus Sura, with +directions to prosecute the plans previously agreed upon. Cicero on the +following day assembled the people in the Forum, and in the <i>Second +Catilinarian Oration</i> recounted to them what had taken place in the +Senate, explaining and justifying his own action.</p> + +<p>In a few days the news arrived that Catilina had joined the camp of<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span> +Manlius at Faesulae. Upon this the Senate declared them both public +enemies. At the same time they issued a proclamation promising immunity +to those of their adherents who should lay down their arms before a +fixed date. Meanwhile the Consul Antonius was directed to take such +military measures as might be necessary against the insurgents, Cicero +being retained for the protection of the city.</p> + +<p>The proclamation did not have any effect in reducing the number of +Catilina's forces, nor did the rewards previously offered lead to any +disclosures. Cicero had hoped that the effect of his speeches would be +to drive all the conspirators into open rebellion, as they would thus be +more easily dealt with. In this he was disappointed, for though the +chief had left the city, his agents had remained in Rome, and Cicero +could not venture to proceed against them without direct evidence. It +was not long, however, before their carelessness put into his hands the +proofs he desired.</p> + +<p>The Allobroges, a tribe of Transalpine Gaul, had sent delegates to +petition the Senate for relief from certain exactions to which they were +subjected. Knowing that these men, from their desperate condition, were +likely to favour a revolution, Lentulus opened negotiations with them, +with a view to securing the aid of their countrymen for the +conspirators. They took counsel however of their 'patronus' Q. Fabius +Sanga, and by his advice revealed the whole affair to Cicero. Acting +under his directions they pretended to enter heartily into the schemes +of Lentulus, and obtained from him letters written and sealed by himself +and his friends, addressed to their nation, stating and confirming by +oath the rewards they were to receive for their assistance. A letter was +also given them for Catilina, whose camp they were to visit on their way +home. With these letters they set out from Rome on the night of December +2, accompanied by T. Volturcius, the agent of Lentulus. Cicero, as +previously agreed upon, posted two Praetors with an armed force at the +Mulvian Bridge, on the Via Flaminia, a few miles to the north of Rome. +They<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span> there arrested the whole party, and carried them, with the +compromising papers, to the Consul. He at once summoned the chief +conspirators to his presence. One, Caeparius, made his escape, though he +was eventually recaptured; but Lentulus, Cethegus, Statilius, and +Gabinius came unsuspectingly, and were at once conveyed by Cicero to the +presence of the Senate, which he had convoked at the Temple of Concord. +There Volturcius, under promise of impunity, made a full disclosure, and +the conspirators were further confronted with the evidence of the +Allobroges, and their own letters, the authenticity of which they were +compelled to acknowledge. Lentulus, who was Praetor at the time, was +obliged to abdicate his office, and he and his companions were placed in +free custody under the charge of several prominent citizens. Rewards +were voted to the informers, and a 'supplicatio' or thanksgiving for the +averted danger decreed in honour of Cicero, who after leaving the Senate +addressed to the people assembled in the Forum the <i>Third Catilinarian +Oration</i>, giving a full account of what had just taken place.</p> + +<p>Two days later (December 5) the Senate was once more convened, and +Cicero as Consul put to them the formal question, 'what was their advice +with respect to the conspirators actually in custody?'</p> + +<p>The Consul elect, D. Silanus, who was first asked for his vote, proposed +that they should be put to death. The other consulars supported him. +When it came to the turn of Caesar, who was praetor elect, he proposed +as an alternative that their property should be confiscated, and that +they should be imprisoned for life in some of the provincial towns of +Italy. These two proposals were before the Senate when Cicero intervened +with the <i>Fourth Catilinarian Oration</i>. It does not pronounce a formal +<i>sententia</i>, for the Consul, as president, would not himself vote, but +places the alternative proposals before the house for their +consideration; indicating, however, a preference for that of Silanus. +But Caesar's speech had made a great impression, and Silanus<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span> announced +that he would agree to a motion for a postponement of the decision, +which had been suggested as a compromise. The matter was eventually +decided by a speech of M. Cato, who was tribune elect. He attacked the +conspirators with great vigour, and proposed that they should be +summarily put to death <i>more maiorum</i>. His words produced such an effect +that his proposal was carried forthwith. Lentulus, Cethegus, Statilius, +Gabinius and Caeparius were at once conducted to the Tullianum, the +prison underneath the slopes of the Capitol, and there strangled<a name="FNanchor_13_13" id="FNanchor_13_13"></a><a href="#Footnote_13_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a>.</p> + +<p>This summary proceeding effectually checked the plans of Catilina. From +this moment he received no fresh reinforcements, and his original +adherents began to leave him. The retreat of his army into Gaul was +blocked by the Praetor Metellus Celer, while M. Petreius, acting as the +legate of Antonius, advanced against him from the south. Early in the +following year (62) the opposing forces met at Pistoria in Etruria, +where Catilina and his followers, after fighting with desperate courage, +were defeated and slain to a man.</p> + +<div class="footnotes"><h3>FOOTNOTES:</h3> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_1_1" id="Footnote_1_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_1_1"><span class="label">[1]</span></a> See 3. §§16, 17 and Cic. pro Caelio, ch. 5.</p></div> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_2_2" id="Footnote_2_2"></a><a href="#FNanchor_2_2"><span class="label">[2]</span></a> The Consuls were elected by the Comitia Centuriata, +generally in July.

Cicero +(pro Sulla §52) says the meeting in Laeca's house took place <i>nocte ea +quae consecuta est posterum diem Nonarum Novembrium</i>; this (if genuine) +fixes it to the night of Nov. 6. At this meeting his assassination was +resolved upon. We should naturally suppose that the attempt was made on +the morning of Nov. 7; and this agrees with Sallust Cat. 28 and Cic. in +Cat. 1. §9 (<i>illa ipsa nocte</i>). But elsewhere (see esp. 1. §1, 1. §8, 2. +§13) Cicero seems to distinguish between what had happened on the 'night +before last' (<i>superiore</i> or <i>priore nocte</i>), i.e. the meeting in +Laeca's house; and 'last night' (<i>proxima nocte</i>), i.e. the attempt on +his own life.

It is fair to add that some writers have adopted a different +view, which may be thus briefly stated. They believe that historians +have been mistaken in regarding Catilina as the leader of a mere band of +desperadoes; that his so-called 'conspiracy' was really an act of revolt +against the authority of the Senate on the part of the whole democratic +party, of which he was the recognized leader (a similar movement, in +fact, to those which had been organized by Gaius Gracchus in 123 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, +by Saturninus in <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>100 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, by M. Lepidus in 78 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, and others); that +he was driven to use force by the opposition of the Optimates to his +schemes, and that Cicero, as the spokesman of the latter, purposely +misrepresented him as the leader of an anarchist conspiracy, whose sole +object was confiscation and plunder.</p> + +<p>The received account is derived almost entirely from two sources; the +speeches and writings of Cicero; and the 'History of the Catilinarian +Conspiracy' by Sallust, written probably about 44 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span> The former is +undoubtedly a prejudiced witness, and statements resting on his +authority alone must be received with caution. Sallust, however, was a +partisan of Caesar, and a member of the democratic party. He had +consequently no motive to represent the character of Catilina as worse +than it really was, especially as his patron Caesar was commonly +supposed to have been implicated in the first conspiracy (66 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>)<a name="FNanchor_14_14" id="FNanchor_14_14"></a><a href="#Footnote_14_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a>, +if not the second also. He certainly hints that the worst charges +against Catilina, which he repeats, rested on very doubtful authority; +but as to the main features of the conspiracy, he confirms Cicero on +every point; and this is a strong argument in favour of the received +account. The question is too large to be fully discussed within the +limits of this book; those who wish to see the contrary view maintained +with great spirit and ability should read the very interesting article +in 'Catiline, Clodius and Tiberius,' by Professor E. S. Beesly<a name="FNanchor_15_15" id="FNanchor_15_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a>.</p> + + +<div class="footnotes"><h3>FOOTNOTES:</h3> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_14_14" id="Footnote_14_14"></a><a href="#FNanchor_14_14"><span class="label">[14]</span></a> See page 8.</p></div> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_15_15" id="Footnote_15_15"></a><a href="#FNanchor_15_15"><span class="label">[15]</span></a> See also the criticism on this in the Introduction to +Capes' Sallust, pp. 24-27.</p></div> +</div> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + + +<h3><a name="NOTE_B" id="NOTE_B"></a>NOTE B.</h3> + +<p class="center"><i>On the Legality of the Execution.</i></p> + +<p>On account of his action in this matter, Cicero was afterwards attacked +by Clodius, who, as tribune in 58 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, carried a law enacting that 'any +one who had put Roman citizens to<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span> death without trial should be +forbidden fire and water.' As Clodius was supported by Caesar and +Pompeius, Cicero did not make any resistance, but retired temporarily +into exile.</p> + +<p>Had his action been really illegal or not? The Valerian, Porcian, and +Sempronian laws certainly enacted that no citizen should be put to death +except by vote of the people, after a formal trial before them. Cicero +justifies his apparent violation of these laws on two grounds—</p> + +<p>(1) That the conspirators, having become <i>hostes</i> by their own act, and +having been recognised as such by resolution of the Senate, had <i>ipso +facto</i> forfeited the rights of citizens (1. §28; 4. §10).</p> + +<p>As regards this, we may remark that, though the conduct of the +conspirators might justify the adoption of active measures against them, +it could not <i>legally</i> be held to deprive them, when arrested, of the +benefit of trial. For the question, whether they had acted as <i>hostes</i> +or not, would be exactly the point which the law-court would have to +decide. The argument is, in fact, from the legal point of view, a +<i>petitio principii</i>.</p> + +<p>(2) That the 'ultimum decretum' of the Senate (see Introduction, page +11) invested the Consul with dictatorial powers, including the right of +summary execution. (1. §4 <i>habemus senatus consultum</i>, etc.)</p> + +<p>In support of this he recalls the fact that C. Gracchus (121) and +Saturninus (100) had been killed by the Consuls Opimius and Marius +respectively, acting under a similar decree. It is certain that a party +in the Senate claimed the right of thus arming the Consul with +exceptional powers in cases of emergency, and Sallust (Cat. 29) +distinctly says that they possessed it. On the other hand, the right had +never been admitted by the popular leaders, who had, as a protest, +brought Opimius to trial for the murder of C. Gracchus, though they had +not secured a conviction. They had, moreover, during this year (63) +accused of murder one C. Rabirius, who had been concerned in the death +of Saturninus thirty-seven years before. The trial was avowedly +instituted for the<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span> purpose of contesting the right of the Senate to +invest the Consul with dictatorial powers. Cicero, who defended +Rabirius, claimed that the 'ultimum decretum' acquitted his client of +all liability. But it seems probable that he would have been condemned, +had not his supporters found means to prevent the trial from coming to a +decision.</p> + +<p>It is on this point that the question of legality or illegality really +turns, and as the Romans were not themselves agreed upon it, we can +scarcely pronounce a decision. If the Consul did possess dictatorial +powers in virtue of the 'ultimum decretum,' then the execution was +legal; if (as seems, perhaps, the more reasonable view) he did not, then +it was illegal. In any case, it is clear that the <i>Senate</i>, as such, +could not order the execution of any citizen. They could only arm the +Consul, and though he was at liberty to consult them on this, as on any +matter of importance, the responsibility of the particular measures +taken rested with him alone.</p> + +<p>Unconstitutional actions may, however, sometimes be justified on the +ground of the necessities of the case; and Cicero might fairly plead +that the executions had proved efficacious in checking the spread of the +conspiracy, (a result which the measures previously taken had entirely +failed to secure,) and that it was very doubtful whether, if the +prisoners had been kept for trial, a general rising could have been +avoided.</p> + +<p>The position of Caesar is somewhat hard to understand. As a popular +leader, he must have held the view that neither the Consul nor the +Senate had the right of dealing summarily with the accused; yet by +proposing the alternative punishment of imprisonment he seems to admit +their jurisdiction. Possibly he took this course as the best means of +saving their lives for the moment, but if so it is not clear why he +should have added the provision that their property should be +confiscated.</p> + +<hr style="width: 33%;" /> + +<p>The first and fourth speeches are <i>orationes pro senatu habitae</i>, the +second and third are <i>contiones ad populum</i>.</p> + +<p><br /><br /><br /><br /></p> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><br /><br /><br /><br /></p> +<h2><a name="IN_CATILINAM_ORATIONES" id="IN_CATILINAM_ORATIONES"></a>IN CATILINAM ORATIONES.<br /></h2> + + + +<hr style="width: 8%;" /> +<h2><a name="Oration_I" id="Oration_I"></a><span class="smcap">Oration I.</span></h2> + +<h4><span class="smcap">Before the Senate.</span></h4> + + +<blockquote><p><i>How long, Catilina, will you abuse our patience?

P. +Sulpicius made certain proposals in the interests of the democratic +party, one of which was to transfer the command against Mithridates of +Pontus from Sulla to Marius. Sulla marched on Rome; Sulpicius, with a +few adherents, was killed; Marius, with others, escaped with difficulty. +Sulla thereupon departed for the East.</p> + +<p>In 87 Cinna, as consul, revived the schemes of Sulpicius. His colleague +Octavius drove him from the city; he collected an army, was joined by +Marius, and effected his return by force. A reign of terror followed, +during which many aristocrats were killed. Marius died in 86; Cinna was +killed in a mutiny two years later.</p> + +<p>In 82 Sulla came back from the East, defeated the younger Marius (in +alliance with the revolted Samnites), at the Colline Gate,<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32a" id="Page_32a">[32]</a></span> and was +created 'dictator reipublicae constituendae.' As such he issued a +proscription list, ordering the execution of most of the democratic +leaders. Having reformed the constitution in the interest of the +optimates, he resigned his power.</p> + +<p>After his death M. Lepidus (consul 78) tried to reverse his acts, but +was expelled by his colleague Q. Catulus. He raised an army and tried, +like Cinna, to effect his return by force, but was defeated by Catulus +at the Mulvian Bridge, <span class="smcap">b.c.</span> 77; he escaped to Sardinia, where he died.</p> + +<p><b>vidistis</b>, because they had all taken place within the last twenty-five +years.</p> + +<p><b>custodem huius urbis</b>, he had saved Rome by defeating the Teutones and +Cimbri (102, 101 <span class="smcap">b.c.</span>)</p> + +<p><b>redundavit</b> only suits 'sanguine,' but is applied (by zeugma) to 'acervis +corporum' as well, '(was choked) with heaps of corpses and flooded with +blood.'</p> + +<p><b>clarissimis viris</b>.

The <i>imperium</i> was the +authority vested in a general in virtue of which he controlled his army +by martial law.

As<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42a" id="Page_42a">[42]</a></span> Macedonia was a rich province, Cicero had given it +up to Antonius, in order to secure his support against the conspirators. +His own province would therefore in the ordinary course have been +Cisalpine Gaul. But subsequently he asked to be allowed to resign it, +and it fell to the praetor Metellus Celer. (See Ep. ad Att. 2. 1 'cum +provinciam in contione deposui,' and ad Fam. 5. 2, where writing to +Metellus Celer he says 'si hoc dicam, me tui causa praetermisisse +provinciam, tibi ipsi levior videar esse.')

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. 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 http://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 +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. 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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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: + + http://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> |
