Author Description

Excerpt from Cicero's Orations for Milo Marcellus, and Ligarius and the Fourteenth Philippic T ST vereor, ifidicés, né turpe sit pro fortissimo v1ro dicere incipientem timere, miniméque deceat, cum T. Annius ipse magis dé rei publicae salute quam dé sua perturbétur, me ad éius causam parem animi magnitudinem adferre non posse, tamem haec novi indici nova forma terret oculos, qui, quocumque incidérunt, consuétfidinem fori et pristinum morem ifidiciorum requirunt. Non enim corona consessus vester cinctus est, ut solébat; non fisitata fre quentia stipati sumus 2. Non illa praesidia, quae pro tem plis omnibus cernitis, etsi contra vim conlocata sunt, non adferunt tamen [oratori aliquid, ut in foro et in indicio, quamquam praesidiis salutaribus et necessariis saepti sumus, tamen né non timere quidem sine aliquo timore possimus. Quae si opposita Miloni putarem, cederem tempori, ifidicés, nec inter tantam vim armorum existimz'irem esse oratori locum. Sed me recreat et reficit Cn. Pompei, sapientis simi et iustissimi viri, consilium, qui profecto nec iustitiae suae putaret esse, quem reum sententiis iudicum tradidisset, eundem telis militum dedere, nec sapientiae, temeritatem concitatae multitfidinis auctoritate publica armare.
