To say nothing of the mob, look at Lucius Visidius, a Roman knight, a man of the
very highest accomplishments and honor, a citizen always eminent, whose
watchfulness and exertions for the protection of my life I felt in my
consulship; who not only exhorted his neighbors to become soldiers, but also
assisted them from his own resources; will it be possible ever to reconcile
Antonius to such a man as this, a man whom we ought to praise by a formal
resolution of the senate? What? will it be possible to reconcile him to Caius
Caesar, who prevented him from entering the city, or to Decimus Brutus, who has
refused him entrance into Gaul?
