THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[6]
We, then, have to war against this enemy by
whose most foul cruelty all the savageness of barbarous nations is surpassed.
Why need I speak of the massacre of Roman citizens! of the plunder of temples?
Who is there who can possibly deplore such circumstances as their atrocity
deserves? And now he is ranging all over Asia, he is triumphing about as a king, he thinks that we are
occupied in another quarter by another war, as if it were not one and the same
war against this outrageous pair of impious men.
