| | NOTES PAGE 1 | 1 | Gellius, Noctes Atticae, IV, 18, probably after Cornelius Nepos. Gellius emphasizes that authenticity is accepted for 'haec quidem verba' even by those who reject reports on another speech delivered by Scipio on that day. Modem scholars--from T. Mommsen ( Römische Forschungen, 11, pp. 466f.) to G. de Sanctis ( Storia dei Romani, IV, I, 594) and R. M. Haywood ( Studies on Scipio Africanus, pp. 86 ff.)--who have taken pains to illuminate the obscurities of the Scipio trials, have, on the whole, seen no reason to contradict him in this respect. Cf. Schanz-Hosius, Geschichte der Römischen Literatur, I, pp. 212 f. Certainty is, of course, impossible. | | | | PAGE 2 | 1 | Polybius, XII, 32; Livy, XXXVIII, II. Cf. E. Täubler, Imperium Romanum ( 1913), pp. 63, 106. | | | | | 2 | Livy, XLIV, 1; Cato, Origines frg., 95 b: 'ne sub solo imperio in servitute nostra essent.' | | | | | 3 | Inscriptiones Graecae ad res Romanas pertinentes, IV, no. 293, ll. 14, 27 (the gymnasiarch Diodorus of Pergamon, c. 130 B.C.). | | | | | 4 | 'Populus gentium victor orbisque possessor'; L. Annaeus Florus, Epitome (ed. H. Malcovati, Rome, 1938), II, I, 2. Κύριοι τη + ̑ς οἰκουμένης; Plutarch, Tib. Gracch. IX. Florusprobably drew from Livy, who quoted a contempo- rary source (C. Wirszubski, Libertas as a Political Idea ( 1950), pp. 45 ff.). | | | | PAGE 3 | 1 | ('the empire of the world, to which all nations, kings, tribes--some under duress, some of their own will--have yielded'). Auctor ad Herennium, IV, 9, 13. From a speech exposing the criminal folly of rebellious socii ( 90/89 B.C.), 'qui pro nobis pugnare at imperium nostrum nobiscum . . . con- servare soliti sunt.' | | | | | 2 | Its antecedents in the proscriptions of Sulla (cf. M. Gelzer, in Pauly- Wissowa, Real Encyclopädie der Altertumswissenschaft, Reihe 2, (Halbband) XIII, pp. 835 f.) are irrelevant to the passage in question (para. 50). | | | | PAGE 4 | 1 | In Catilinam, IV, II, 23. | | | | | 2 | 'could stand up for the Senate's authority, and for the Roman people's freedom and imperium': Philippicae, III, 37; IV, 8. Cf. also De Divinatione, I, 27 (relating to Deiotarus, the king 'huic imperio amicissimus'--Pro Rege Deiotaro, II). | | | | -298- | | |
