M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 63 (search)
There is a town on the Hellespont, O judges, called Lampsacus, among the first in the province of
Asia for renown and for nobleness. And
the citizens themselves of Lampsacus are
most especially kind to all Roman citizens, and also are an especially quiet and
orderly race; almost beyond all the rest of the Greeks inclined to the most perfect
ease, rather than to any disorder or tumult. It happened, when he had prevailed on
Cnaeus Dolabella to send him to king Nicomedes and to king Sadala, and when he had
begged this expedition, more with a view to his own gain than to any advantage for
the republic, that in that journey he came to Lampsacus, to the great misfortune and almost ruin of the city. He is
conducted to the house of a man named Janitor as his host; and his companions also,
are billeted on other entertainers. As was th

Now when he neither dares himself to allege any such cause for the tumult as being
true, nor even to invent such a falsehood, but when a most temperate man of his own
order, who at that time was in attendance on Caius Nero, Publius Tettius, says that
he too heard this same account at Lampsacus, (a man most accomplished in everything, Caius Varro, who was
at that time in Asia as military tribune,
says that be heard this very same story from Philodamus,) can you doubt that fortune
was willing, not so much to save him from that danger, as to reserve him for your
judgment! Unless, indeed, he will say, as indeed Hortensius did say, interrupting
Tettius while he was giving his evidence in the former pleading (at which time
indeed he gave plenty of proof that, if there were anything which he could say, he
could not keep

Dolabella was moved; he did
what many blamed, in leaving his army, his province, and the war, and in going into
Asia, into the province of another
magistrate, for the sake of a most worthless man. After he came to Nero, he urged
him to take cognisance of the cause of Philodamus. He came himself to sit on the
bench, and to be the first to deliver his opinion. He had brought with him also his
prefects, and his military tribunes, all of whom Nero invited to take their places
on the bench On that bench also was that most just judge Verres himself. There were
some Romans also, creditors of some of the Greeks, to whom the favour of any
lieutenant, be he ever so infamous, is of the greatest influence in enabling them to
get in their money.

There is exhibited in the
market-place of Laodicea a spectacle
bitter, and miserable, and grievous to the whole province of Asia—an aged parent led forth to
punishment, and on the other side a son; the one because he had defended the
chastity of his children, the other because he had defended the life of his father
and the fair fame of his sister. Each was weeping,—the father, not for his
own execution, but for that of his son; the son for that of his father. How many
tears do you think that Nero himself sheds? How great do you think was the weeping
of all Asia? How great the groans and lamentations of the citizens of Lampsacus, that innocent men, nobles, allies and
friends of the Roman people, should be put to death by public execution, on account
of the unprecedented wickedness and impious desires of one most profligate man?

Those documents remain at Miletus, and will remain as long as that city lasts. For the Milesian
people had built ten ships by command of Lucius Marcus out of the taxes imposed by
the Roman people, as the other cities of Asia had done, each in proportion to its amount of taxation Wherefore
they entered on their public records, that one of the ten had been lost, not by the
sudden attack of pirates, but by the robbery of a lieutenant,—not by the
violence of a storm, but by this horrible tempest which fell upon the allies.

For Malleolus
had started for his province so splendidly equipped that he left actually nothing
behind him at home. Besides, he had put out a great deal of money among the
provincials, and had taken bills from them. He had taken with him a great quantity
of admirably embossed silver plate. For he, too, was a companion of that fellow
Verres in that disease and in that covetousness; and so he left behind him at his
death a great quantity of silver plate, a great household of slaves, many workmen,
many beautiful youths. That fellow seized all the plate that took his fancy; carried
off all the slaves he chose; carried off the wines and all the other things which
are procured most easily in Asia, which he
had left behind: the rest he sold, and took the money himself.

By means of the same partners in his injuries,
and thefts, and bribes, during his command the festival of Marcellus at Syracuse is abolished, to the great grief of
the city;—a festival which they both gladly paid as due to the recent
services done them by Caius Marcellus, and also most gladly gave to the family and
name and race of the Marcelli. Mithridates in Asia, when he had occupied the whole of that province, did not
abolish the festival of Mucius. In honour of Quintus Mucius
Scaevola, who had been praetor in that province, and had established a high
character for lenity and incorruptibility. An enemy, and he too an enemy in
other respects, only too savage and barbarous, still would not violate the honour of
a name which had been consecrated by holy ceremonies. You forbade the Syracusans to
grant one day of festival to

What
man ever lived of whom such a thing was heard as has happened to you, that his
statues in his province, erected in the public places, and some of them even in the
holy temples, were thrown down by force by the whole population? There have been
many guilty magistrates in Asia, many in
Africa, many in Spain, in Gaul, in Sardinia, many in
Sicily itself, but did we ever hear such
a thing as this of any of them? It is an unexampled thing, O judges, a sort of
prodigy amazing the Sicilians, and among all the Greeks. I would not have believed
that story about the statues, if I had not seen them myself uprooted and lying on
the ground; because it is a custom among all the Greeks to think that honours paid
to men by monuments of that sort, are, to some extent, consecrated, and under the
protection
