M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 74 (search)
At that time the same Diana of which I am speaking is restored with the greatest
care to the Segestans. It is taken back to Segesta; it is replaced in its ancient situation, to the greatest joy
and delight of all the citizens. It was placed at Segesta on a very lofty pedestal,
on which was cut in large letters the name of Publius Africanus; and a statement was
also engraved that “he had restored it after having taken Carthage.” It was worshipped by the
citizens; it was visited by all strangers; when I was quaestor it was the very first
thing, they showed me. It was a very large and tall statue with a flowing robe, but

birthplace and divine home at Delos he
plundered by a nocturnal robbery and attack;—You, also, O Apollo, whose
image he carried away from Chios;—You, again and again, O Diana, whom he plundered at
Perga; whose most holy image at Segesta, where it had been twice consecrated—once by their
own religious gift, and a second time by the victory of Publius
Africanus—he dared to take away and remove;—And you, O Mercury,
whom Verres had placed in his villa, and in some private palaestra, but whom Publius
