would never have been discovered, had not the
investigation into the cases of the others spread and overtaken her
besides. AEmilia and Licinia had a multitude of lovers and carried
on their wanton behavior with each other's help. At first they
surrendered themselves to some few privately and secretly, telling
each man that he was the only one admitted. Later they themselves
bound every one who could suspect and inform against them to certain
silence in advance by the price of intercourse with them, and those
who had previously enjoyed their conversation, though they saw this,
yet endured it in order not to be detected by a show of vexation.
So after holding commerce with many, now singly, now in groups,
now privately, now publicly, Licinia enjoyed the society of the
brother of AEmilia, and AEmilia that of Licinia's brother. These
doings were hidden for a great period of time, and though many
men and many women, both free and slaves, were in the secret, it
was hidden for a very long period, until one Manius,[51] who
seems to have been the first to assist and cooeperate in the
whole evil, gave information of the matter because he had not
obtained freedom nor any of the other objects of his hope. He was,
indeed, very skillful not only at leading women into prostitution, but
also in slandering and ruining some of them. (Valesius, p. 626.)

was calculated to bring him [sc. Marcus Drusus] glory first of itself
and second in the light of Cato's disaster; and because he had shown
great amiability toward the soldiers and seemed to have made success of
more importance than truth, he also secured a renown greater than his
deeds deserved. (Valesius, p. 629.)

When Jugurtha sent to Metellus about peace the latter made separate
demands upon him as if each were to be the last, and in this way got
from him hostages, arms, the elephants, the captives, and the deserters.
All of these last he killed but did not grant a truce because Jugurtha,
fearing to be arrested, refused to come to him and because Marius and
Gnaeus[52] prevented. (Ursinus, p. 385.)

friendly to the rabble from which
