THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[13]
What? when
you ordered levies of troops to be made throughout all Italy, when you suspended all exemptions from
service, was he not by those steps declared to be an enemy? You see
manufactories of arms in the city; soldiers, sword in hand, are following the
consul; they are in appearance a guard to the consul, but in fact and reality to
us; all men are giving in their names, not only without any shirking, but with
the greatest eagerness; they are acting in obedience to your authority. Has not
Antonius been declared an enemy by such acts?
