'Nec sum animi dubius, verbis ea vincere magnum Quam sit, et angustis hunc addere rebus honorum. Georg. iii. 289.
There are different accounts of this measure; but Appian says that he wished to give the Latini the Jus Suffragii and Jus Honorum, and to the rest of the Italians the Jus Suffragii only. Rich and poor Romans met here on the common ground of narrow pride, and the offence caused by this wise project probably paved the way for the tribune's fall.
Ita quantum spatium aetatis maiores ad senectutis initium esse voluerunt, tantus illi cursus honorum fuit; atque huius extrema aetas hoc beatior quam media, quod auctoritatis habebat plus, laboris minus; apex est autem senectutis auctoritas. 61 Quanta fuit in L. Caecilio Metello, quanta in A. Atilio Calatino!
This, however, he did not do. Its population was and remained a mixed one, and Corinth never rose to a state of real prosperity. Cæsar made various new arrangements in the State, and among others he restored the full franchise, or the jus honorum, to the sons of those who had been proscribed in the time of Sulla.
Lael. 33 quod perduxissent. ESSET: cf. n. on 21. AETATE: here = the vigorous period of life; cf. bona aetas in 48. CURSUS HONORUM: 'official career'. HUIUS: ille and hic are not often found in the same sentence referring to the same person. Eius would have been more regular here. MEDIA: cf. n. on 33 constantis aetatis.
These are my ordinary companions. No. 106. Hinc tibi copia Manabit ad plenum, benigno Ruris honorum opulenta cornu. HOR. Od. xvii. 1. i. v. 14. Here to thee shall plenty flow, And all her riches show, To raise the honour of the quiet plain.
This denied the jus honorum to all the leading men at the South who had survived the war.
The Latini may have had Commercium and Connubium, or only the former. They certainly had not Jus Suffragii or Jus Honorum, and they were in subjection to Rome. A Latin could obtain the Roman franchise, but the mode of doing so at this time is a disputed point.
They are obliged indeed to be thus lavish of their Praises, that they may keep one another in Countenance; and it is no wonder if a great deal of Knowledge, which is not capable of making a Man wise, has a natural Tendency to make him Vain and Arrogant. No. 106. Monday, July 2, 1711. Addison. ... Hinc tibi Copia Manabit ad plenum, benigno Ruris honorum opulenta cornu. Hor.
