multas equidem C.
Caesaris virtutes magnas incredibilisque cognovi, sed sunt
ceterae maioribus quasi theatris propositae et paene populares.
castris locum capere, exercitum instruere, expugnare
urbis, aciem hostium profligare, hanc vim frigorum hiemumque
quam nos vix huius urbis tectis sustinemus excipere,
eis ipsis diebus hostem persequi cum etiam ferae latibulis
se tegant atque omnia bella iure gentium conquiescant—
sunt ea quidem magna; quis negat? sed magnis excitata
sunt praemiis ac memoria hominum sempiterna. quo
minus admirandum est eum facere illa qui immortalitatem
concupiverit.
