You were quaestors to Cnaeus Papirius the
consul fourteen years ago. All that you have done from that day to this day I bring
before the court. Not one hour will be found free from theft, from wickedness, from
cruelty, from atrocity. These years have been passed by you in the quaestorship, and
in the lieutenancy in Asia, and in the city
praetorship, and in the Sicilian praetorship. On which account a division of my
whole action will also be made into four parts.

But after he arrived in Asia,—why should I enumerate the dinners, the suppers, the
horses, and the presents which marked that progress? I am not going to say anything
against Verres for everyday crimes. I say that he carried off by force some most
beautiful statues from Chios; also from
Erythrae; also from Halicarnassus. From
Tenedos (I pass over the money which
he seized) he carried off Tenes himself,
who among the Tenedians is considered a most holy god, who is said to have founded
that city, after whose name it is called Tenedos. This very Tenes, I
say, most admirably wrought, which you have seen It was allowed
to the aediles, and it was not uncommon for them to borrow of the cities of the
allies celebrated and beautiful statues to adorn the shows in the games which they

But that storming of that most ancient and most noble
temple of the Samian Juno, how grievous was it to the Samians! how bitter to all
Asia! how notorious to all men! how
notorious to every one of you! And when ambassadors had come from Samos into Asia to Caius Nero, to complain of this attack on that temple, they
received for answer, that complaints of that sort, which concerned a lieutenant of
the Roman people, Asia to Caius Nero, to complain of this attack on that temple, they
received for answer, that complaints of that sort, which concerned a lieutenant of
the Roman people, ought not to be brought before the praetor, but must be carried to
Rome. What pictures did he carry off
from thence; what statues! which I saw lately in his house, when I went thither for
the sake of sealing The custom was for the accuser to put a
seal on the house and effects of the man whom he was preparing to prosecute, in
order that no evidence of the theft to be imputed might be removed by the removal

Why should I speak of Marcus Marcellus, who took Syracuse, that most beautiful city? why of Lucius Scipio, who waged
war in Asia, and conquered Antiochus, a
most powerful monarch? why of Flaminius, who subdued Philip the king, and Macedonia? why of Lucius Paullus, who with his might
and valour conquered king Perses? why of Lucius Mummius, who overthrew that most
beautiful and elegant city Corinth,
full of all sorts of riches, and brought many cities of Achaia and Boeotia under the
empire and dominion of the Roman people?—their houses, though they were
rich in virtue and honour, were empty of statues and paintings. But we see the whole
city, the temples of the gods, and all parts of Italy, adorned with their gifts, and with memorials of them.

But the allies and foreign nations then
first abandoned the hope of saving any of their property and fortunes, because, as
it happened, there were at that time very many ambassadors from Asia and Achaia at Rome, who
worshipped in the forum the images of the gods which had been taken from their
temples. And so also, when they recognised the other statues and ornaments, they
wept, as they beheld the different pieces of their property in different place. And
from all those men we then used to hear discourses of this
sort:—“That it was impossible for any one to doubt of the ruin
of our allies and friends, when men saw in the forum of the Roman people, in which
formerly those men used to be accused and condemned who had done any injury to the
allies, those things now openly placed which had been wickedly seized and taken away

Here I do not expect
that he will deny that he has many statues, and countless paintings. But, as I
fancy, he is accustomed at times to say that he purchased these things which he
seized and stole; since indeed he was sent at the public expense, and with the title
of ambassador, into Achaia, Asia, and Pamphylia as a purchaser of statues and paintings.
