As each carriage passed the bridge, where M. Raoul stood among the workmen, handkerchiefs fluttered out, and he lifted his hat gaily in response. "Ubicunque vicit Romanus habitat, Where the Roman conquered he settled and it is from his settlements that to-day we deduce his conquests.
Giulio died on the day of All Saints in the year 1546, and over his tomb was placed the following epitaph: ROMANUS MORIENS SECUM TRES JULIUS ARTES ABSTULIT, HAUD MIRUM, QUATUOR UNUS ERAT.
Varro quotes one of their proverbs "Romanus sedendo vincit," which illustrates my present point. The Romans achieved their results by thoroughness and patience. It was thus that they defeated Hannibal and it was thus that they built their farm houses and fences, cultivated their fields, their vineyards and their oliveyards, and bred and fed their live stock.
Such, however, was not the opinion of the National Guards who were on duty at the gate through which Messenger Johnson sought to leave this beleagured town. In vain Messenger Johnson showed his pass; in vain he stated that he was a free-born Briton and a Queen's messenger. These suspicious patriots ignored the pass, and scoffed at the Civis Romanus.
They have thus deprived their followers of the inestimable fruits of communion enumerated by Christ in the gospel yet these forsooth are the men who charge Catholics with a departure from primitive practice. See Act. Coer. p. 54. Martene t. 3, p. 132. It is found with little variation also in the Gelasian Sacramentary, in a very ancient Ordo Romanus, and some MSS. cited by Martene.
How came the Populus Romanus to be stirred to action in this cause, with the result that the balance of power projected by Caius Gracchus was again restored?
Since the captivity of Romanus, six years the feeble son of Eudocia had trembled under the weight of the Imperial crown, till the provinces of the East and West were lost in the same month by a double rebellion: of either chief Nicephorus was the common name; but the surnames of Bryennius and Botoniates distinguish the European and Asiatic candidates.
The old man's figure was tall, erect, broad-chested, and muscular, and his bearing proud and reserved. "I 'm always half expecting to see that old man get up," the Newspaper Man whispered to me, "fold his arms across that great chest of his, and say 'Romanus sum, and then proudly lead his son away." He must have been sixty-five years old or more, though he looked twenty years younger.
IV, c. 24. In the Ordo Romanus, besides the blessing of milk and honey, there is a formula of benediction of a lamb and other food. By C.M. Baggs. Having spoken of the blessing of the paschal candle at Rome, we may for a few moments turn our thoughts towards a city still more ancient, and trodden by holier and more exalted beings than even the apostles and martyrs of the eternal city.
The Tacitus, thus universally proclaimed, and for nearly a dozen generations, not to be a competent master of his own tongue, is not the Tacitus of the History, it is the "Tacitus" of the Annals; and when hereafter I point out who this "Tacitus" of the Annals was, an Italian "Grammaticus," or "Latin writer" of the fifteenth century, the reader will not be at all surprised that he every now and then slips and trips in Latin; on the contrary, the reader would be amazed if it were not so; because he would regard it as a thing more than phenomenal, as a matter partaking of the miraculous; he must consider himself as coming in contact with a being altogether superhuman; if the "Tacitus" of the fifteenth century, who, as a Florentine, may have been a complete master of the choicest Tuscan, had written with the correctness of the Tacitus of the first century, who, as befitted a "civis Romanus" of consular rank, was perfectly skilled in his native tongue; aye, quite as much so as Livy, Sallust, or any other accomplished man of letters of ancient Rome.
