bedlamsbardFor whatever reason, this is my favorite line in one of my sources, even though I probably won't use it as it's from the late Republic rather than the middle Republic:
Nathan Rosenstein, Imperatores Victi: Military Defeat and Aristocratic Competition in the Middle and Late Republic (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1990), 117.
I like this author. I wonder if he's still teaching? He reads as rather young in this book, but it was written twenty years ago. *googles* He is! He's at Ohio State. Which...has a Ph.D. program in Ancient History. Which looks pretty good, actually. (Guys, they admit that although ideally applicants would have 3-4 years of Greek and Latin, realistically they expect that applicants only have 1-2! THEY ARE REALISTIC. I LIKE THEM.) Huh. On the other hand, Ohio.
M. Caelius Rufus politely assumed in one letter to Cicero during his stint as governor of Cilicia that that not-very-bellicose imperator might find himself in the thick of it were he forced to do battle against the strong Parthian contingent invading Syria.
