In Africa the governor Hadrianus, who followed out the work of revolutionizing too thoroughly and began to give liberty to the slaves, had been, on occasion of a tumult instigated by the Roman merchants of Utica, attacked in his official residence and burnt with his attendants ; nevertheless the province adhered to the revolutionary government, and Cinna's son-in-law, the young and able Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, was invested with the supreme command there.
How did Sylla act when he learned the news of the change? What caused a tumult in Cinna's army? How did it end? What artifice was practised on Scipio? What was the result? Describe the relative condition of the rival forces? Did Pompey obtain any victory? What was the consequence? Which faction finally prevailed? What massacre was perpetrated by Sylla? How did he excuse it? 27.
"I feel the selfsame fire, the selfsame nerve I feel, That roused th' indignant Cid, drove home Iloratius' steel; As cunning as of yore this hand of mine I find, That sketched great Pompey's soul, depicted Cinna's mind," wrote Corneille in his thanks to Fouquet.
All is diversely complicated and diseased. Cinna's republicanism is merely the cloak of another passion: he is a tool in the hands of Emilia, who, on her part, constantly sacrifices her pretended love to her passion of revenge. The magnanimity of Augustus is ambiguous: it appears rather the caution of a tyrant grown timid through age.
The slaughter was now great, and Cinna's appetite was dulled and he was satisfied with blood; but Marius daily went on with his passion at the highest pitch and thirsting for vengeance, through the whole list of those whom suspected in any degree.
