Who ever was such a barbarian? Who was ever so savage? so brutal? He would not
listen to them; he gave them no answer; and he not only despised and showed that
he considered of no importance those men who were with him, but still more us,
by whom these men had been sent. And afterward what wickedness, or what crime
was there which that traitor abstained from? He blockaded your colonists, and
the army of the Roman people, and your general, and your consul elect. He lays
waste the lands of a nation of most excellent citizens. Like a most inhuman
enemy he threatens all virtuous men with crosses and tortures.
