To Atticus, iv. 16. Pompey, as proconsul with a province, was residing outside the walls. Ad Quintum fratrem, iii. 4. Ad Familiares, i. 9. "Meum non modo animum, sed ne odium quidem esse liberum." Ad Quintum Fratrem, iii. 5. See the story in a letter to Atticus, lib. iv. 16-17. De Haruspicum Responsis. "Angit unus Milo.
They have overturned the ancient military glory of the French by a series of victories so numerous and unexpected that those, who were not long since inferior to the wretched Scots, have so crushed by fire and sword the whole realm that, on a recent journey, I could hardly persuade myself that it was the France that I had seen in former years." Epistolæ Familiares, iii., Ep. 14, p. 162, ed.
A musical comedy by Vergilio Mazzocchi and Mario Marazzoli, entitled 'Chi sofre speri, was produced in Florence under the patronage of Cardinal Barberini as early as 1639. The poet Milton was present at this performance, and refers to it in one of his Epistolae Familiares. In 1657 a theatre was actually built in Florence for the performance of musical comedies.
The manners of the times do not excuse language of this kind, for there was probably not another member of the Senate who indulged in it. If Cicero was disliked and despised, he had his own tongue to thank for it. To Atticus, iv. 2. To Atticus, iv. 3. For the details of this story see Dion Cassius, lib. xxxix. capp. 12-16. Compare Cicero ad Familiares, lib. i. Epist. 1-2.
Such accidents require to be interpreted by the use which is made of them. Ad Quintum Fratrem, ii. 15. "Ego enim ne pilo quidem minus me amabo." Ibid., ii. 16. Other editions read "te." "Videor id judicio facere: jam enim debeo: sed amore sum incensus." Ad Quintum Fratrem, iii. 1. Ad Crassum. Ad Familiares, v. 8. Ad Lentulum. Ad Fam., i. 8. Ibid., i. 9. De Provinciis Consularibus.
Ad Familiares, vii. 1. Young Publius Crassus, before he went to Italy, had wintered with the seventh legion in Brittany. The Breton tribes had nominally made their submission, and Crassus had desired them to supply his commissariat. They had given hostages for their good behavior, and most of them were ready to obey. The Veneti, the most important of the coast clans, refused.
Your papers I will shew you certainly when you would see them, but I am a little angry at you for not keeping minutes of your own acceptum et expensum , and think a little time might be spared from Aristophanes, for the res familiares. Forgive me for I mean well. I hope, dear Sir, that you and Lady Rothes, and all the young people, too many to enumerate, are well and happy. GOD bless you all.
Perhaps "own brother to an ass" would be a more proper rendering. To Atticus, iv. 5. Clodius. Here follows much about himself and his own merits. To Lentulus Spinther, Ad Familiares, i. 9. The length of this remarkable letter obliges me to give but an imperfect summary of it. The letter itself should be studied carefully by those who would understand Cicero's conduct. Dion Cassius.
T. I think you have named Cicero’s Letters ad Familiares, Mr. Black? C. reads. Cicero Appio salutem. Nam et scripsisti aperte, quid tibi videretur; et Atticus ad me sermonem tuum pertulit.
I follow Caesar's own account of the action. Appian is minutely circumstantial, and professes to describe from the narratives of eye- witnesses. But his story varies so far from Caesar's as to be irreconcilable with it, and Caesar's own authority is incomparably the best. Suetonius, quoting from Asinius Pollio, who was present at the battle. Ad Familiares, iv. 14. Ibid., xv. 15. Ad Fam., ix. 6.
