nam profecto memoria tenetis Cotta et
Torquato consulibus compluris in1 Capitolio res de caelo
esse percussas, cum et2 simulacra deorum depulsa sunt et
statuae veterum hominum deiectae et legum aera liquefacta
et tactus etiam3 ille qui hanc urbem condidit Romulus,
quem inauratum4 in Capitolio, parvum atque lactantem,
uberibus lupinis inhiantem fuisse meministis. quo quidem
tempore cum haruspices ex tota Etruria convenissent, caedis
atque incendia et legum interitum et bellum civile ac domesticum
et totius urbis atque imperi occasum appropinquare
dixerunt, nisi di immortales omni ratione placati suo
numine prope fata ipsa flexissent.
