'Poor Pansa! said Lepidus: 'he never has time for pleasure. Thank Heaven I am not an aedile! 'Ah, Glaucus! how are you? gay as ever? said Clodius, joining the group. 'Are you come to sacrifice to Fortune? said Sallust. 'I sacrifice to her every night, returned the gamester. 'I do not doubt it. No man has made more victims! 'By Hercules, a biting speech! cried Glaucus, laughing.
Mommsen has given his dates in terms of Roman usage, A.U.C.; that is, from the founding of Rome, conventionally taken to be 753 B. C. To the end of each volume is appended a table of conversion between the two systems. I. Marcus Lepidus and Quintus Sertorius II. Rule of the Sullan Restoration III. The Fall of the Oligarchy and the Rule of Pompeius IV. Pompeius and the East
"Yes," he said, "the Princess: very right. But the warrant, madam, was countersigned." "By Heinrich!" said von Rosen. "Well, and here am I to represent him." "Well, your Highness," resumed the soldier of fortune, "I must congratulate you upon my loss. You have been cut out by beauty, and I am left lamenting. The Doctor still remains to me: probus, doctus, lepidus, jucundus: a man of books."
"I can tell you, word for word, what she wrote, general," said a voice close by. "You, Bourrienne?" "Yes. She wrote: 'You did right not to come, my dear; all that is happening here convinces me that the invitation was only a snare. I will rejoin you shortly." "You unsealed the letter?" "General, Sextus Pompey gave a dinner on his galley to Antony and Lepidus.
But, in the end, animosity to those they hated carried the day against respect for relations and affection for friends; and Caesar sacrificed Cicero to Antony, Antony gave up his uncle Lucius Caesar, and Lepidus received permission to murder his brother Paulus, or, as others say, yielded his brother to them.
He praises even the coward Lepidus, who was in command of legions, and was now Governor of Gaul beyond the Alps and of Northern Spain, and proposes that the people should put up to him a gilt statue on horseback so important was it to obtain, if possible, his services. Alas! it was impossible that such a man should be moved by patriotic motives.
For the young man, once established, and possessed of the office of consul, bade Cicero farewell; and reconciling himself with Antony and Lepidus, joined his power with theirs, and divided the government, like a piece of property, with them. Thus united, they made a schedule of above two hundred persons who were to be put to death.
Caesar's answer was as follows: that he had put Lepidus out of government because of his own misconduct; that what he had got in war he would divide with Antony, so soon as Antony gave him a share of Armenia; that Antony's soldiers had no claims in Italy, being in possession of Media and Parthia, the acquisitions which their brave actions under their general had added to the Roman empire.
They were to retain their offices until the end of December, 38, Lepidus ruling Spain; Octavius, Sicily, Sardinia, and Africa; and Antony, the two Gauls; while Italy was to be governed by the three in common, their authority being paramount to senate, consuls, and laws.
Following this official action Pontius Aquila, one of the assassins and a lieutenant of Decimus, conquered in battle Titus Munatius Plancus, who opposed him; and Decimus, when a certain senator deserted to Antony, so far from displaying anger toward him sent back all his baggage and whatever else he had left behind in Mutina, the result being that the affection of many of Antony's soldiers grew cool, and some of the nations which had previously sympathized with him proceeded to rebel: Caesar and Hirtius, however, were elated at this, and approaching the fortifications of Antony challenged him to combat; he for a time was alarmed and remained quiet, but later when some reinforcements sent by Lepidus came to him he took courage.
