I had been thinking about it for the last week, as I wanted him to help my Junian Latins out of a mess. I am acquiring a passion for that interesting class of freedmen. And really it is only natural.
These Junian Latins were poor slaves, whose liberation was not recognized by the strict and ancient laws of Rome, because their masters chose to liberate them otherwise than by 'vindicta, census, or testamentum'. On this account they lost their privileges, poor victims of the legislative intolerance of the haughty city. You see, it begins to be touching, already.
At last he put the note-book back on its shelf, and deigned to remember that I had come about the Junian Latins. "In which of the authorities do you find a difficulty?" "My difficulty lies in the want of authorities, sir, I wish to find out whether the Junian Latins had not a special dress." "To be sure." He scratched his head. "Gaius says nothing on the point?" "No." "Papinian?" "No."
Then, oh! then, I could contain myself no longer. I ran down the stairs four at a time, cursing Paris and the Junian Latins who had been cheating me of the spring.

Recollections, my good uncle, are not unlike instantaneous photographs; and this one is a distinct negative to your designs. March 3d. The year is getting on. My essay is growing. The Junian Latin emerges from the fogs of Tiber. I have had to return to the National Library. My first visits were not made without trepidation.
Did he wear the cap of liberty, the pileus, at his master's funeral? Junian Latin. Did he disembowel his master's corpse? Junian Latin, once more, for his trouble. What a fine fellow this Norbanus must have been! What an eye for everything, down to the details of a funeral procession, in which he could find an excuse for emancipation!
Then came on the scene Junius Norbanus, consul by rank, and a true democrat, who brought in a law, carried it, and gave them their freedom. In exchange, they gave him immortality. Henceforward, did a slave obtain a few kind words from his master over his wine? he was a Junian Latin. Was he described as 'filius meus' in a public document? Junian Latin.
