M. Tullius Cicero, For Publius Quinctius (ed. C. D. Yonge), chapter 7 (search)
Think, O Caius Aquillius, that Naevius did everything at Rome with moderation and good sense, if this which was done in Gaul in obedience to his letters was done rightly and
legally. Quinctius being expelled and turned out of his farm, having received a most
notorious injury, flies to Caius Flaccus the general, who was at that time in the
province; whom I name to do him honour as his dignity demands. How strongly he was of
opinion that that action called for punishment you will be able to learn from his
decrees. Meantime Alphenus was fighting every day at
Rome with that old gladiator. He had the
people indeed on his side, because that fellow never ceased to aim at the head. There is an allusion here to the fights of gladiators, in which the
people disapproved of that gladiator who aimed too constantly at the vital parts of
his adversary, so as to make the combat
M. Tullius Cicero, For Sextus Roscius of Ameria (ed. C. D. Yonge), chapter 7 (search)
For when this Sextus Roscius was at Ameria,
but that Titus Roscius at Rome; while the
former, the son, was diligently attending to the farm, and in obedience to his father's
desire had given himself up entirely to his domestic affairs and to a rustic life, but
the other man was constantly at Rome, Sextus
Roscius, returning home after supper, is slain near the Palatine baths. I hope from this very fact, that it is not obscure on
whom the suspicion of the crime falls; but if the whole affair does not itself make
plain that which as yet is only to be suspected, I gi , Sextus Roscius a man so magnificent and so
popular, was slain without any trouble this man, imprudent and unpolished as he was and
unknown at Rome, might easily be removed. They
promise their assistance for this business; not to detain you longer, O judges, a
conspiracy is formed.
M. Tullius Cicero, For Publius Quinctius (ed. C. D. Yonge), chapter 8 (search)
Quinctius comes to Rome; he answers to his bail. That fellow, that most energetic man, the
seizer of other men's goods, that invader, that robber, for a year and a half asks for
nothing, keeps quiet, amuses Quinctius by proposals as long as he can, and at last
demands of Cnaeus Dolabella, the praetor, that Quinctius should give security for
payment on judgment being given, according to the formula, “Because he demands
it of him whose goods he has taken possession of for thirty days, according to the edict
of the praetor.” Quinctius made no objection to his ordering him to give
security, if his goods had been possessed, in accordance with the praetor's edict. He
makes the order; how just a one I do not say—this alone I do say, it was
unprecedented: and I would rather not have said even this, since any one could have
understood both its characters. He orders <
M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 1 (search)
That which was above all things to be desired, O judges, and which above all things
was calculated to have the greatest influence towards allaying the unpopularity of
your order, and putting an end to the discredit into which your judicial decisions
have fallen, appears to have been thrown in your way, and given to you not by any
human contrivance, but almost by the interposition of the gods, at a most important
crisis of the republic. For an opinion has now become established, pernicious to us,
and pernicious to the republic, which has been the common talk of every one, not
only at Rome, but among foreign nations
also,—that in the courts of law as they exist at present, no wealthy man,
however guilty he may be, can possibly be convicted
