Strana 96 - Besides this, when any of them made sacrifice to the gods, they always sent a dole to the common hall; and, likewise, when any of them had been...
Strana 92 - First, he stopped the currency of the gold and silver coin, and ordered that they should make use of iron money only : then to a great quantity and weight of this he assigned but a very small value ; so that to lay up ten minfe, a whole room was required, and to remove it, nothing less than a yoke of oxen.
Strana 114 - Upon the whole, he taught his citizens to think nothing more disagreeable than to live by (or for) themselves. Like bees, they acted with one impulse for the public good, and always assembled about their prince. They were possessed with a thirst of honour, an enthusiasm bordering upon insanity, and had not a wish but for their country.

Strana 143 - Upon this thefeciales exhorted the senate to deliver him up to the Gauls ; but he applied to the people ; and being a favourite with them, was screened from the sentence. Soon after this the Gauls marched to Rome, and sacked the whole city, except the Capitol ; as we have related at large in the life of Camillus.
