THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[2]
And now I am much more elated still, because you too with
such great unanimity and with such a clamor have sanctioned our declaration that
he is an enemy.
And indeed, O Romans, it is impossible but that either the men must be impious
who have levied armies against the consul, or else that he must be an enemy
against whom they have rightly taken arms. And this doubt the senate has this
day removed—not indeed that there really was any; but it has prevented
the possibility of there being any. Caius Caesar, who has upheld and who is
still upholding the republic and your freedom by his zeal and wisdom, and at the
expense of his patrimonial estate, has been complimented with the highest
praises of the senate.
