[Footnote 312: Wallon (_Hist. de l'Esclavage_, ii. p. 38) has noted that Virgil alone shows a feeling of tenderness for the lot of the captive, quoting _Aen_. iii. 320 foll. (the speech of Andromache): but this was for the fate of a princess, and a mythical princess. No Latin poet of that age shows any real sympathy with captives or with slaves.] [Footnote 313: Cic. _pro lege Manilia_ 12. 23. Plutarch, in his _Life of Pompey_ 24, adds that Romans of good standing would join in the pirates' business in order to make profit in this scandalous way.] [Footnote 314: Suet. _Aug._ 32, of the period before Augustus.] [Footnote 315: Varro, _R.R._ ii. 10; Diodorus xxxvi. 3. 1.] [Footnote 316: Hor. _Epist_. i. 6. 39:-- "Mancipiis locuples eget aeris Cappadocum rex: Ne fueris hic tu." ] [Footnote 317: Varro, _R.R._ i. 17.] [Footnote 318: _Ib_. 2. 10. 3.] [Footnote 319: Hor. _Epode_ 2. 65.
