On account of illness he was not present at the Battle of Pharsalia (Aug. 9, B.C. 48). After the fate of the contest was decided, he refused to continue the struggle or to follow the adherents of the lost cause to Africa, but returned to Italy (September, B.C. 48), to make terms with the conqueror. He remained at Brundisium until Caesar's return from Egypt in September, B.C. 47, when he at once sought an interview. Caesar received him with great kindness and respect, and allowed him once more to return to Rome. From this time until the assassination of Caesar in B.C. 44, Cicero remained for the most part in retirement at his Tusculan villa, absorbed in literary pursuits, though in B.C. 46 he delivered his Oration for Marcellus See pp.213 ff., below.

Licinius Calvus. Born May 28, B.C. 82; died before B.C. 47. "Though he handled his style with knowledge and good taste," writes Cicero, "yet being too critical of himself" and fearing to acquire unhealthy force, he lost even real vitality. Accordingly, his speaking, repressed by too great scrupulousness, was brilliant to the learned and those who listened to him attentively, but by the crowd and the Forum it was swallowed like a pill." Brutus, lxxxii, 284. It is important to settle Cicero's own position in this contest. He himself fancied that he f

It is no longer possible to refuse to declare Antony an enemy: this is implied in the honors proposed for the generals. sustulerunt, i.e. refused to put that question. imprudens, without knowing it. This and the following section give examples to prove Cicero's assertion that a supplicatio had never been decreed for victory in a civil war, that is, for victory over persons who were not hostes. bellum Octavianum: see Cat. 3, sect. 24 (p. 137, l. 26) and note.
