It has been supposed that Cicero was insulting the Tribune because he was dirty. Not so. He was ridiculing Rullus because Rullus had dared to go about in mourning "sordidatus" on behalf of his country. But the tone in which Cicero speaks of himself is magnificent.
In asking favor of a man in power there was held to be no disgrace, even though the favor asked were one improper to be granted, which was not the case with Cicero. And he went about the Forum in mourning "sordidatus" as was the custom with men on their trial. We cannot doubt that in each of these cases he acted with the advice of his friends.
