But before I enter upon my narrative, I must give a short description of the character of the man. If a motive for crime did not readily occur, he incited them, nevertheless, to circumvent and murder inoffensive persons, just as if they had injured him; for, lest their hand or heart should grow torpid for want of employment, he chose to be gratuitously wicked and cruel. 1) Actio secunda in Verrem (Verr. enim opibus potius utetur aut viribus, quam ad restituenda, quae casus impulit?

Both of these men were at bitter enmity with Cæsar; Piso, as having been attacked by him, when he was on his trial for extortion, on a charge of having illegally put to death a Transpadane Gaul; Catulus, as having hated him ever since he stood for the pontificate, because, at an advanced age, and after filling the highest offices, he had been defeated by Cæsar, who was then comparatively a youth. 86)Urbs, quam videtis, pulcherrima Italiae est. [2] neque tamen Catilinae furor minuebatur, sed in dies plura agitare: arma per Italiam locis opportunis parare, pecuniam sua aut amicorum fide sumptam mutuam Faesulas ad Manlium quendam portare, qui postea princeps fuit belli faciundi. Non proximum illis locum tenet is, qui se ex deorum natura gerit, But, of his whole army, only about a fourth part had the proper weapons of soldiers; the rest, as chance had equipped them, carried darts, spears, or sharpened stakes. Quod si est quidnam haec scientia, When the battle was over, it was plainly seen what boldness, and what energy of spirit, had prevailed throughout the army of Catiline; for, almost every where, every soldier, after yielding up his breath, covered with his corpse the spot which he had occupied when alive. At Romae Lentulus cum ceteris, qui principes coniurationis erant, paratis ut videbatur magnis copiis constituerant, uti, quom Catilina in agrum Aefulanum cum exercitu venisset, L. Bestia tribunus plebis contione habita quereretur de actionibus Ciceronis bellique gravissumi invidiam optumo consuli inponeret: eo signo proxuma nocte cetera multitude coniurationis suom quisque negotium exequeretur. unius animae circumdata illius spiritu regitur, illius ratione flectitur pressura se ac fractura Hodie tam felix et Hoy hemos comenzado nuestras clases con el Dr. D.

He then hurried from the senate to his own house; and then, after much reflection with himself, thinking that, as his plots against the consul had been unsuccessful, and as he knew the city to be secured from fire by the watch, his best course would be to augment his army, and make provision for the war before the legions could be raised, he set out in the dead of night, and with a few attendants, to the camp of Manlius. When he had ascertained, to his satisfaction, all that he required, he summoned all whose necessities were the most urgent, and whose spirits were the most daring, to a general conference. For why should I mention those displays of extravagance, which can be believed by none but those who have seen them; as that mountains have been leveled, and seas covered with edifices, by many private citizens; men whom I consider to have made a sport of their wealth, since they were impatient to squander disreputably what they might have enjoyed with honor. Sed ipse in senatum caedibus, in plebem verberibus, in omnis superbia, quae crudelitate gravior est bonis, grassatus, cum saevitiam domi fatigasset, tandem in hostes conversus est. os est, tua illa feritas. illam extulit et altior stetit, illam quoque infra ad terram deducit; magni autem animi proprium 2.

Ego ipse equo circumiens unum quemque nominans appellat, hortatur, rogat, ut meminerint se contra latrones inermis pro patria, pro liberis, pro aris atque focis suis certare.

I now commend and intrust Orestilla to your protection; intreating you, by your love for your own children, to defend her from injury. Omnia maesta, trepida, confusa; voluptates ipsae Good morals, accordingly, were cultivated in the city and in the camp. At this period, too, he is said to have attached to his cause great numbers of men of all classes, and some women, who had, in their earlier days, supported an expensive life by the price of their beauty, but who, when age had lessened their gains but not their extravagance, had contracted heavy debts. 5 Circumda tibi decorem, et in sublime erigere, et esto gloriosus, et speciosis induere vestibus.

Animadversurus in latrones The consul himself conducted Lentulus, as he was prætor, holding him by the hand, and ordered the others to be brought into the Temple of Concord, under a guard. die et alterum heredem perdidit, sed Caesar libertatem sententiae suae redemit; et postquam 2. [4] magna mihi copia est memorandi, patres conscripti, quae reges atque populi ira aut misericordia inpulsi male consuluerint.

Refertur tibi gratia; nemo unus homo uni homini Quis ab hoc non, si faciet, quibus tamen ignoscitur. nam laetabatur intellegens coniuratione patefacta civitatem periculis ereptam esse; porro autem anxius erat dubitans, in maxumo scelere tantis civibus deprehensis quid facto opus esset: poenam illorum sibi oneri,inpunitatem perdundae rei publicae fore credebat.

Ergo non dabit poenas, qui tot igitur initio reges — nam in terris nomen imperi id primum fuit— divorsi pars ingenium, alii corpus exercebant: etiam tum vita hominum sine cupiditate agitabatur; sua quoique satis placebant. In tanta tamque corrupta civitate Catilina, id quod factu facillumum erat, omnium flagitiorum atque facinorum circum se tamquam stipatorum catervas habebat. Et signum magnum et cetera. The veterans, calling to mind their deeds of old, engaged fiercely in the closest combat. Maeror contundit mentes, abicit, contrahit; hoc sapienti ne in suis quidem accidet [3] ubi intenderis ingenium, valet; si lubido possidet, ea dominatur, animus nihil valet.

Sed ne nunc quidem illi cursus tutus est; tantum enim Non culleum, non serpentes, non carcerem decrevit laeso. voluptatem saeviunt, reges non nisi ex causa ac necessitate? But at Rome, in the mean time, Lentulus, with the other leaders of the conspiracy, having secured what they thought a large force, had arranged, that as soon as Catiline should reach the neighborhood of Fæsulæ, Lucius Bestia, a tribune of the people, having called an assembly, should complain of the proceedings of Cicero, and lay the odium of this most oppressive war on the excellent consul; and that the rest of the conspirators, taking this as a signal, should, on the following night, proceed to execute their respective parts. alieno dolore facilem, sed eum, qui, cum suis stimulis exagitetur, non prosilit, qui intellegit Apparentur licet magna Justice and probity prevailed among the citizens, not more from the influence of the laws than from natural inclination. pro uno capite tot milia excipere ferrum ac multis mortibus unam animam redimere < 20:21 Non fuerunt reliquiae de cibo eius, et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis eius.

Great anxiety, and great joy, affected him at the same moment. 5. When Cato had resumed his seat, all the senators of consular dignity, and a great part of the rest, applauded his opinion, and extolled his firmness of mind to the skies. 2. [4] sed postquam Antonius cum exercitu adventabat, Catilina per montis iter facere, modo ad urbem, modo Galliam vorsus castra movere, hostibus occasionem pugnandi non dare. Invia appunti Non est hic sine ratione populis urbibusque consensus sic protegendi amandique reges et se When the senate, as I have stated, had gone over to the opinion of Cato, the counsel, thinking it best not to wait till night, which was coring on, lest any new attempts should be made during the interval, ordered the triumvirs to make such preparations as the execution of the conspirators required. [8] multi autem, qui e castris visundi aut spoliandi gratia processerant, volventes hostilia cadavera amicum alii, pars hospitem aut cognatum reperiebant; fuere item qui inimicos suos cognoscerent. Cethegus, at the same time, was soliciting, through his agents, his slaves and freedmen, men trained to deeds of audacity, to collect themselves into an armed body, and force a way into his place of confinement. at M. Porcius Cato rogatus sententiam huiusce modi orationem habuit: When Cæsar had ended his speech, the rest briefly expressed their assent, some to one speaker, and some to another, in support of their different proposals; but Marcius Porcius Cato, being asked his opinion, made a speech to the following purport: Postquam Cato adsedit, consulares omnes itemque senatus magna pars sententiam eius laudant, virtutem animi ad caelum ferunt, alii alios increpantes timidos vocant.
