Postquam remoto metu Punico simultates exercere vacuum fuit, plurimae turbae, seditiones et ad postremum bella civilia orta sunt, dum pauci potentes, quorum in gratiam plerique concesserant, sub honesto patrum aut plebis nomine dominationes affectabant; bonique et mali cives appellati non ob merita in rempublicam, omnibus pariter corruptis; sed uti quisque locupletissimus et iniuria validior, quia praesentia defendebat, pro bono ducebatur.
