61. Sed confecto proelio, tum vero cerneres,[348] quanta audacia quantaque vis animi fuisset in exercitu Catilinae. Nam fere, quem quisque vivus pugnando locum ceperat, eum amissa anima corpore tegebat. Pauci autem, quos medios[349] cohors praetoria disjecerat, paulo diversius, sed omnes tamen adversis vulneribus[350] conciderant. Catilina vero longe a suis inter hostium cadavera repertus est, paululum etiam spirans ferociamque animi, quam habuerat vivus, in vultu retinens. Postremo ex omni copia neque in proelio neque in fuga quisquam[351] civis ingenuus captus est: ita cuncti suae hostiumque vitae juxta[352] pepercerant. Neque tamen exercitus populi Romani laetam aut incruentam victoriam adeptus erat; nam strenuissimus quisque aut occiderat in proelio aut graviter vulneratus discesserat. Multi autem, qui de castris visundi aut spoliandi gratia processerant, volventes hostilia cadavera, amicum alii, pars hospitem aut cognatum reperiebant; fuere item, qui inimicos suos cognoscerent. Ita varie per omnem exercitum laetitia, moeror, luctus atque gaudia[353] agitabantur. [348] 'There you might indeed have seen.' See Zumpt, S 528, note 2. [349] In the centre of the army where they were drawn up. [350] _Adversa vulnera_, 'wounds in the breast,' or 'in the front part of the body' generally. _Aversa vulnera_, on the other hand, are 'wounds in the back,' such as are inflicted on cowards that run away. [351] _Quisquam_ for ullus_. See Zumpt, S 676. [352] _Juxta_, 'equally little.' They had spared the life of their enemy as little as their own. Compare p. 41, note 3 [note 194]. [353] These four substantives form contrasts, though intentionally not in the regular way, for _gaudium_ and _moeror_ denote a joyous and sad state of mind, 'joy' and 'sadness;' _laetitia_ and _luctus_ at the same time express the audible expressions of joy and grief. Accordingly, _laetitia_ contrasts with _luctus_, and _gaudia_ with _moeror_. Respecting the omission of the conjunction in describing contrasts of this nature, see Zumpt, S 783. * * * * * C.
