280] We are told by Cornelius Nepos, in his life of
Atticus, that when Cicero fled from his country Atticus
advanced to him two hundred and fifty sesterces, or
about L2000. I doubt, however, whether the flight here
referred to was not that early visit to Athens which
Cicero was supposed to have made in his fear of Sulla.
[281] Ad Fam., lib. xiv., iv.: "Tullius to his Terentia,
and to his young Tullia, and to his Cicero," meaning his
boy.
[282] Pro Domo Sua, xxiv.
[283] Ad Quin. Fra., 1, 3.
[284] The reader who wishes to understand with what
anarchy the largest city in the world might still exist,
should turn to chapter viii. of book v. of Mommsen's
History.
[285] Ad Att., lib. iii., 12.
[286] Horace, Epis., lib. ii., 1.
[287] Ad Att., lib. i., 8.
[288] Horace, Epis., lib. ii., 11. The translation is
Conington's.
[289] Vell. Pat., lib. i., xiii.
[290] "Civile;" when Sulla, with Pompey under him, was
fighting with young Marius and Cinna.
[291] "Africanum;" when he had fought with Domitius, the
son-in-law of Cinna, and with Hiarbas.
[292] "Transalpinum;" during his march through Gaul into
Spain.
[293] "Hispaniense;" in which he conquered Sertorius.
[294] "Servile;" the war with Spartacus, with the slaves
and gladiators.
[295] "Navale Bellum;" the war with the pirates.
[296] For the full understanding of this oft-quoted line
the reader should make himself acquainted with Cato's
march across Libya after the death of Pompey, as told by
Lucan in his 9th book.
