. . . This day you are right to rank above all your great days of triumph and thanksgiving. For this deed belongs to Caesar alone ; all those other victories, great as they were, you won as leader, but there was a great multitude to follow you. In this action you are both leader and follower ; and it is a great action. Time wiU bring to an end your trophies and monuments (for old age destroys all the works of men's hands), but this justice and clemency of yours gains day by day a greater glory,... so that even if passing years diminish your material achieve- ments they add more and more to your honour. Indeed, you had already surpassed all previous victors in civil war in justice and mercy ; but to-day you have con- quered yourself. . . . You seem to have been victorious over victory, since you have not exacted from the con- quered all that victory had won for you. For although by the laws of victory we, the conquered, should all have been ruined, by the judgment of your clemency we have CICERO 133 been spared.
