— milites nos esse, non servos vestros, ad bellum, non in exilium missos? si quis det signum, in aciem educat, ut viris ac Romanis dignum sit, pugnaturos; si nihil armis opus sit, otium Romae potius quam in castris acturos? haec dicta sint patribus; te, imperator, milites tui oramus, ut nobis pugnandi copiam facias. cum vincere cupimus tum te duce vincere, tibi lauream insignem deferre, tecum triumphantes urbem inire, tuum sequentes currum Iovis optimi maximi templum gratantes ovantesque adire.” orationem Tulli exceperunt preces multitudinis, et undique, ut signum daret, ut capere — arma iuberet, clamabant.
