M. Tullius Cicero, For Sextus Roscius of Ameria (ed. C. D. Yonge), chapter 7 (search)
For when this Sextus Roscius was at Ameria,
but that Titus Roscius at Rome; while the
former, the son, was diligently attending to the farm, and in obedience to his father's
desire had given himself up entirely to his domestic affairs and to a rustic life, but
the other man was constantly at Rome, Sextus
Roscius, returning home after supper, is slain near the Palatine baths. I hope from this very fact, that it is not obscure on
whom the suspicion of the crime falls; but if the whole affair does not itself make
plain that which as yet is only to be suspected, I give you leave to say my client is
implicated in the guilt. When Sextus Roscius was
slain, the first person who brings the news to Ameria, is a certain Mallius Glaucia, a man of no consideration, a
freedman, the client and intimate friend of that Titus Roscius; and he brings the news
to t
M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 107 (search)
Oh but, I suppose, Sthenius thought it
honourable to himself for Verres to choose a man for his advocate out of the number
of Roman citizens who were his own friends and connections! Whom did he choose?
Whose name is written in the records? Caius Claudius, the son of Caius, of the
Palatine tribe. I do not ask who this
Claudius is; how illustrious, how honourable, how well suited to the business, and
deserving that, because of his influence and dignity, Sthenius should abandon the
custom of all the Sicilians, and have a Roman citizen for his advocate. I do not ask
any of these questions;—for perhaps Sthenius was influenced not by the
high position of the man, but by his intimacy with him.—What? What shall
we say if there was in the whole world a greater enemy to Sthenius than this very
Caius Claudius, both cons

But will you allow this portico to stand on the Palatine Hill, and on the most beautiful spot in the whole
city, erected as an everlasting token to keep alive the recollection of all
nations and of all foes of the frenzy of the tribunes, of the wickedness of
the consuls of the cruelty of the conspirators, of the calamity of the
republic, and of my sufferings? A portico which, out of the affection which
you have and always have had for the republic, you ought to wish to pull
down, not only by your votes, but, if it were necessary, even by your hands.
Unless, perchance, the religious consecration of it by that chastest of
pontiffs deters any one.
O that action, which careless men laugh at, but which graver citizens cannot
hear of without the

She, then, she it is, who has displayed to the Roman people these tokens of
wickedness, and revealed to them these indications of danger. For why should
I speak of those games which our ancestors ordered to be performed and
celebrated on the Palatine Hill, in
front of the temple, in the very sight of the mighty Mother, on the day of
the Megalesia?The Megalesia were the great festivals in
honour of Cybele, celebrated in April, on the anniversary of the day
when her statue was brought from Pessenus. They lasted six days, and
were among the most important of all the festivities of the sort which
were held at Rome. Vide Smith, Dict. Ant. v. Megalesia. which are in their institution and in
