THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[2]
Here now you have a pair equal in wickedness; unprecedented, unheard of, savage,
barbarous. Therefore those men whose vehement mutual hatred and quarrel you
recollect a short time ago, have now been united in singular unanimity and
mutual attachment by the singularity of their wicked natures and most infamous
lives. Therefore, that which Dolabella has now done in a case in which he had
the power, Antonius threatens many with. But the former, as he was a long way
from our counsels and armies, and as he was not yet aware that the senate had
united with the Roman people, relying on the forces of Antonius, has committed
those wicked actions which he thought were already put in practice at Rome by his accomplice in wickedness.
