fulgentis gladios hostium videbant Decii, cum in aciem eorum inruebant. his levabat omnem volnerum metum nobilitas mortis et gloria. num tum ingemuisse Epaminondam putas, cum una cum sanguine vitam effluere sentiret? imperantem enim patriam Lacedaemoniis relinquebat, quam acceperat servientem. haec sunt solacia, haec fomenta summorum dolorum.
