Alterius vero partis nihil amplius dicam quam, id quod omnes verebamur, nimis iracundam futuram fuisse victoriam. Quidam enim non modo armatis sed interdum etiam otiosis minabantur, nec quid quisque sensisset sed ubi fuisset cogitandum esse dicebant; ut mihi quidem videantur di immortales, etiam si poenas a populo Romano ob aliquod delictum expeti- 5 verunt, qui civile bellum tantum et tam luctuosum excitaverunt, vel placati iam vel satiati aliquando omnem spem salutis ad clementiam victoris et sapientiam contulisse.-Pro Marcello, 17, 18. a) State briefly the cause of the civile bellum (line 6).

Catilina rem publicam despexit atque contempsit ut iis copiis quas secum eduxit se hanc civitatem oppressurum arbitraretur. Latius patet illius sceleris contagio quam quisquam putat, ad pluris pertinet. Intus,1 intus, inquam, est equus Troianus; a quo numquam me consule dormientes opprimemini. Quaeris a me ecquid ego Catilinam metuam. Nihil, et curavi ne quis metueret, sed copias illius quas hic video dico esse metuendas; nec tam timendus est nunc exercitus L. Catilinae quam isti qui illum exercitum deseruisse dicuntur. Non enim deseruerunt, sed ab illo in insidiis relicti in capite atque in cervicibus nostris restiterunt.
