Unless, indeed, when
you were decreeing honors to Caius Caesar, well deserved indeed by and fairly
due to him, but still unprecedented and never to be forgotten, for one single
reason,—because he had levied an army against Marcus
Antonius,—you were not judging Marcus Antonius to be an enemy; and
unless. Antonius was not pronounced an enemy by you, when the veteran soldiers
were praised by your authority, for having followed Caesar; and unless you did
not declare Antonius an enemy when you promised exemptions and money and lands
to those brave legions, because they had deserted him who was consul while he
was an enemy.
