Sallust, Catiline, 17.

987

“And this silver eagle, to which he had consecrated in his house an altar.” (Cicero, Second Oration against Catiline, 6.)

988

Sallust, Catiline, 20.

989

Sallust, Catiline, 33. Speech of the envoys sent by Mallius to Marcius Rex.

990

Sallust, Catiline, 30.

991

Sallust, Catiline, 36.

992

“Meanwhile, he kept refusing slaves, who, from the beginning, had never ceased joining him in large bands. Full of confidence in the resources of the conspiracy, he regarded any appearance of confounding the cause of the citizens with that of the slaves as contrary to his policy.” (Sallust, Catiline, 56.)

993

Sallust, Catiline, 44.

994

“People who will fall at our feet, if I show them, I do not say the points of our swords, but the edict of the prætor.” (Cicero, Second Oration against Catiline, 3.)

995

Sallust, Catiline, 61.

996

Dio Cassius, XXXVII. 10.

997

The Emperor Napoleon, in the Mémorial de Sainte-Hélène, also treats as a fable this opinion of the historians that Catiline desired to burn Rome, and give it up to pillage, in order afterwards to govern a ruined city. The Emperor thought, said M. de Las Cases, that it was rather some new faction, after the manner of Marius and Sylla, which, having been unsuccessful, had seen all the unfounded accusations that are brought in such cases heaped upon its leader.

998

Cicero, Oration for Flaccus, 38.

999

“He excited public cavil, not by evil actions, but by his habit of self-glorification. He never went to the Senate, to the assemblies of the people, to the courts of law, without having on his lips the names of Catiline and Lentulus.” (Plutarch, Cicero, 31.)

1000

Cicero, Familiar Letters, v. 7.

1001

See Cæsar’s speech, quoted above.

1002

It may be interesting to reproduce here, from the letters of Cicero, the list of the discourses which he delivered during the year of his consulship. “I wished, I also, after the manner of Demosthenes, to have my political speeches, which may be named consulars. The first and second are on the Agrarian Law; the former before the Senate on the calends of January; the second before the people; the third, about Otho; the fourth, for Rabirius; the fifth, on the children of the proscribed; the sixth, on my relinquishing my province; the seventh is that which put Catiline to flight; the eighth was delivered before the people the day after his flight; the ninth, from the tribune, the day when the Allobroges came to give their evidence; the tenth, before the Senate, on the 5th of December. There are two more, not so long, which may be described as supplementary to the two first on the Agrarian Law.” (Cicero, Letters to Atticus, II. 1.)
