I have now explained to you, O conscript fathers, my design in leaving the city.
Now I will briefly set before you; also, my intention in returning, which may
perhaps appear more unaccountable. As I had avoided Brundusium, and the ordinary route into
Greece, not without good reason, on
the first of August I arrived at Syracuse, because the passage from that city into Greece was said to be a good one. And that
city, with which I had so intimate a connection, could not, though it was very
eager to do so, detain me more than one night. I was afraid that my sudden
arrival among my friends might cause some suspicion if I remained there at all.
But after the winds had driven me, on my departure from Sicily, to Leucopetra, which is a promontory
of the Rhegian district, I went up the gulf from that point, wi

You came to Brundusium, to the
bosom and embraces of your actress. What is the matter? Am I speaking falsely?
How miserable is it not to be able to deny a fact which it is disgraceful to
confess! If you had no shame before the municipal towns, had you none even
before your veteran army? For what soldier was there who did not see her at
Brundusium? who was there
who didBrundusium? who was there
who did not know that she had come so many days' journey to congratulate you?
who was there who did not grieve that he was so late in finding out how
worthless a man he had been following?
Again you made a tour through Italy, with that same actress for your
companion. Cruel and miserable was the way in which you led your soldiers into
the towns; shameful was the pillager in every city, of gold and

For who is there who does not see clearly that, if Caesar had not prepared an
army, the return of Antonius must have been accompanied by our destruction? For,
in truth, he returned in such a state of mind, burning with hatred of you all,
stained with the blood of the Roman citizens, whom he had murdered at Suessa and
at Brundusium, that he thought
of nothing but the utter destruction of the republic. And what protection could
have been found for your safety and for your liberty if the army of Caius Caesar
had not been composed of the bravest of his father's soldiers? And with respect
to his praises and honors,—and he is entitled to divine and
everlasting honors for his godlike and undying services,—the senate
has just consented to my proposals, and has decreed that a motion be submitt

I come now to Caius Caesar, O conscript fathers; if he had not existed, which of
us could have been alive now? That most intemperate of men, Antonius, was flying
from Brundusium to the city,
burning with hatred, with a disposition hostile to all good men, with an army.
What was there to oppose to his audacity and wickedness? We had not as yet any
generals, or any forces. There was no public council, no liberty; our necks were
at the mercy of his nefarious cruelty; we were all preparing to have recourse to
flight, though flight itself had no escape for us. Who was it—what god was it; who at that time gave
to the Roman people this godlike young man, who, while every means for
completing our destruction seemed open to that most pernicious citizen, rising
up on a sudden, beyond every one
