THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[12]
All the legions, all
the forces which exist any where, belong to the Roman people. Nor shall those
legions which have quitted Marcus Antonius be called the legions of Antonius
rather than of the republic; for he loses all power over his army, and all the
privileges of military command, who uses that military command and that army to
attack the republic.
