Pompey had for two years meditated on the course which he was now taking. Atticus had spoken of the intended flight from Italy as base. Cicero answers: "Hoc turpe Cnaeus noster biennio ante cogitavit: ita Sullaturit animus ejus, et diu proscripturit;" "so he apes Sylla and longs for a proscription." To Atticus, ix. 10. To Atticus, viii. 13. Enclosed to Atticus, viii. 15. To Atticus, viii. 16.
He foreboded that, let the contest end which way it would, "the result would certainly be a despotism". He foresaw that Pompey's real designs were as dangerous to the liberties of Rome as any of which Caesar could be suspected. "Sullaturit animus", he says of him in one of his letters, coining a verb to put his idea strongly "he wants to be like Sulla". And it was no more than the truth.
