[Footnote 180: See Dio Cassius xl. 59; and Cic. _ad Fam_. iv. 1 and 3, to Sulpicius, with allusions to his consulship.] [Footnote 181: _Tusc. Disp_. iv. 3. 6.] [Footnote 182: The speech _in Pisonem_; cp. the _de Provinciis consularibus_, 1-6. This Piso was the father of Caesar's wife Calpurnia, who survives in Shakespeare.] [Footnote 183: The difficult passage in which Cicero describes the perversion of this character under the influence of Philodemus, has been skilfully translated by Dr. Mahaffy in his _Greek World under Roman Sway_, p. 126 foll.; and the reader may do well to refer to his whole treatment of the practical result of Epicureanism.] [Footnote 184: This chapter is also useful as illustrating the urbanity of manners, for Lucullus and Pompeius were political enemies.] [Footnote 185: _ad Fam_. viii. 5 _fin_.; viii. 9. 2.] [Footnote 186: See the introduction of Asconius to Cicero _pro Cornelio_, ed. Clark, p. 58.] [Footnote 187: _ad Att_. v. 21. 11, 13.] [Footnote 188: _ad Q. frat._ ii. 1. 1; ii. 10. 1.] [Footnote 189: The letters written immediately after Cicero's return from exile are the best examples of this paralysis of business, e.g. _ad Fam_. i. 4; _ad Q. F_. ii. 3. See a useful paper by P. Groebe in _Klio_, vol. v. p. 229.] [Footnote 190: This appears from a letter of Oaelius to Cicero in 51.--_ad Fam._ viii. 8. 8.] [Footnote 191: Asconius _in Cornelianum_, ed. Clark, p. 59. "Ut praetores ex edictis suis perpetuis ius dicerent."] [Footnote 192: All his letters are in the eighth book of those _ad Familiares_.] [Footnote 193: Tacitus, _Annals_ xiii. 2: "voluptatibus concessis."] [Footnote 194: Quintil. iv. 2. 123.] [Footnote 195: Brutus 79. 273.] [Footnote 196: e.g. _ad Fam._ ii. 13. 3.] [Footnote 197: Exactly the same combination of real interest in, and frivolous treatment of, politics is to be found in the early letters of Horace Walpole to Sir H. Mann, especially those of the year 1742.] [Footnote 198: _ad Fam._ viii. 14. 3.] [Footnote 199: Caesar, Bell. Civ. iii. 20 foll.] [Footnote 200: See above, p. 86; cp. p. 58.] [Footnote 201: So for example Servaeus is disqualified, _ad Fam_. viii. 4. I.] [Footnote 202: _Ib_. viii. 8. 2] [Footnote 203: _Ib_. 8. 12] [Footnote 204: Lucilius, _Fragm_. 9, ed. Baehrens.] [Footnote 205: This probably means that the deity was believed to reside in the cake, and that the communicants not only entered into communion with each other in eating of it, but also with him. It is in fact exactly analogous to the sacramental ceremony of the Latin festival, in which each city partook of the sacred victim, in that case a white heifer. See Fowler, Roman _Festivals_, p. 96 and reff.] [Footnote 206: This interesting custom is recorded by Servius (ad Aen. iv. 374). For the whole ceremony of confarreatio see De Marchi, _La Religione nella vita domestica_, p. 155 foll.; Marquardt, _Privatleben_, p. 32 foll. Cp. also Gaius i. 112.] [Footnote 207: Gaius l.c.]
