[18]
For when this Sextus Roscius was at Ameria,
but that Titus Roscius at Rome; while the
former, the son, was diligently attending to the farm, and in obedience to his father's
desire had given himself up entirely to his domestic affairs and to a rustic life, but
the other man was constantly at Rome, Sextus
Roscius, returning home after supper, is slain near the Palatine baths. I hope from this very fact, that it is not obscure on
whom the suspicion of the crime falls; but if the whole affair does not itself make
plain that which as yet is only to be suspected, I give you leave to say my client is
implicated in the guilt.
