Fowler, W. Warde, 1847-1921

"Social life at Rome in the Age of Cicero"


Page 235, footnote 2. _Regum_, etc.: we have taken the tyrant's
temper.
Page 239, l. 10. _ante focos_, etc.: it was customary once to take
places in the long benches before the fireplace, and to trust that the
gods were present at our table.
Page 246, l. 5. _nunc vero_, etc.: but now from morning till evening,
on holidays and working days, the whole people, senators and
commoners, busy themselves in the forum and retire nowhere, etc. (See
page 133, l. 9, and translation of that passage.)
Page 246, footnote 2. _Urbem_, etc.: remain in the city, Rufus; stay
there and live in that light. All foreign travel is humble and lowly
for those that can work for the greatness of Rome.
Page 247, footnote 1. _Frequens_, etc.: constant change of abode is a
sign of unstable mind.
Page 248, l. 12. _contentio_, etc.: not a straining of the mind, but a
relaxation.
Page 259, l. 12. _locus_, etc.: a pleasant site, on the sea itself,
and can be seen from Antium and Circeii.
Page 265, footnote 3. _Ut illum_, etc.
