Roman Senate; for the nature of the first see Bosworth Smith, Carthage and

(Hist. of Rome,, vol. ii. p. 15) seems to doubt the existence of
the larger council: its authority at any rate had been superseded by the oligarchical gerusia.
These he put under the charge of Gaius Laelius,
with orders that he should take due care of them. He next

Philip's Increasing Deterioration
A fragment of a speech of some Macedonian orator as to the
Aetolians making an alliance with Rome.
"The case is just like that of the disposition of the

Peloponnesians as are in alliance with them, are put in the post
of danger; while the Romans, like the phalanx, remain in
reserve. And if the former meet with disaster and perish, the
Romans will retire unharmed from the struggle; while if they
are victorious, which Heaven forbid ! the Romans will get
not only them but the rest of the Greeks also into their

The Aetolians had recently become greatly encouraged
King Philip undertakes to aid the Achaean league, and other Greek states,
against a threat-ened attack of the Aetolians in alliance with Rome, B. C. 208.

threatening all with an attack by land, while Attalus and Publius Sulpicius did the same by
sea. Wherefore Achaean legates arrived at the court of King Philip entreating his help: for it
was not the Aetolians alone of whom they were standing in dread, but Machanidas also, as he
was encamped with his army on the frontier of Argos. The Boeotians also, in fear of the
enemy's fleet, were demanding a leader and

Euboeans in their entreaties to him to take some precaution

Dangers of the Treaty With Rome
"Put then before your eyes your own folly. You
profess to be at war against Philip on behalf of the Greeks,
that they may escape from servitude to him; but your war is
really for the enslavement and ruin of Greece. That is the
tale told by your treaty with Rome, which formerly existed
only in written words, but is now seen in full operation.
Heretofore, though mere written words, it was a disgrace to
you: but now your execution of it has made that disgrace
palpable to the eyes of all the world. Moreover, Philip merely
lends his name and serves as a pretext for the war: he is not
exposed to any attack: it is against his allies,—the majority of
the Peloponnesian states, Boeotia, Euboea, Phocis, Locris,
Thessaly, Epirus,—that you have made this treaty, bargaining
that their bodies and their goods shall belong to
the Romans, their cities and their territory to
the Aetolians. Cp. 9. 39. And though personally, if you took a city, you
would not stoop to viola
