[129]
For why should I mention the daily
conversation and daily complaints of the Roman people?—why that fellow's
most impudent theft, I should rather say, his new and unexampled robber? how he
dared in the temple of Castor, in that most illustrious and renowned monument, a
temple which is placed before the eyes and in the daily view of the Roman people, to
which the senate is often summoned, where crowded deliberations on the most
momentous affairs take place every day, why should I mention his having dared to
leave in that place, in contempt of anything any one can say, an eternal monument of
his audacity?
