[18]
For when citizens have been robbed of their money, it is usually sought to be recovered
by civil action and by a private suit. This is a law affecting the
allies,—this is a right of foreign nations. They have this fortress somewhat
less strongly fortified now than it was formerly, but still if there be any hope left
which can console the minds of the allies, it is all placed in this law. And strict
guardians of this law have long since been required, not only by the Roman people, but
by the most distant nations.
