"He is not dead he breathes," said Ligarius. "Carry him into the house; he is dreadfully bruised." The rest of the party retired with Clodius. Coelius turned to Caesar. "By all the Gods, Caius! you have won your lady fairly. A splendid victory! You deserve a triumph." "What a madman Clodius has become!" "Intolerable. But come and sup with me on the Nones. You have no objection to meet the Consul?"
It was recognized that I had a future: both gifts and graces; piety; a versatile tongue; a powerful voice; some learning; could dine, I could look august; above all, I knew my man and could talk him over. My great day came when, one morning, in St. Gregory the Great on Mount Coelius, I was consecrated Bishop Coadjutor to his Eminence the Archbishop of Westminster. Now I was on the heights.
The last had a very brilliant career as an orator, though his orations were too florid to be read. Caesar was also distinguished for his eloquence, its characteristics being force and purity. "Coelius was noted for lofty sentiment, Brutus for philosophical wisdom, Calidius for a delicate and harmonious style, and Calvus for sententious force."
On these relations was based the power of Crassus; out of them arose the insurrections whose motto was "a clear sheet"-of Cinna and still more definitely of Catilina, of Coelius, of Dolabella entirely resembling the battles between those who had and those who had not, which a century before agitated the Hellenic world.
Soon after we find him in the country in correspondence with Lucceius, on the subject of the history of his consulship; but he soon returned to Rome and before the year ended delivered his fine speech on the consular provinces, in which he opposed the curtailment of Caesar's command in Gaul; and also that on behalf of Coelius, a lively and elegant oration which has been quoted to prove that Cicero was indifferent to purity of morals, because he palliates as an advocate and a friend the youthful indiscretions of his client.
The census showed that the city and suburbs contained eighty-three thousand inhabitants. In earlier times they had been: Palatinus, Cermalus, Velia, Fagutal, Oppius, Cispius, and Coelius. The inhabitants within the walls were divided into four "regions" or districts the Palatine, the Colline, the Esquiline, and the Suburran.
Coelius relates that Mago, with the cavalry and Spanish infantry, immediately swam the river; and that Hannibal himself led the army across by fords higher up the Po, the elephants being opposed to the stream in a line to break the force of the current.
Lister and others; occasioned principally by the title of a book, published by the Dr. being the works of Apicius Coelius, concerning the soups and sauces of the ancients, with an extract of the greatest curiosities contained in that book. Amongst his Letters, is one upon the Denti Scalps, or Tooth-picks of the Antients: Another contains an imitation of Horace: Epist. 5.
