red the restoration of his property, Pro Domo Sua (B.C. 57). and defended Sestius, Pro P. Sestio, on a charge of assault (B.C. 56). who had been active in his recall. Toward the end of this period he also defended Milo for the murder of Clodius. B.C. 52. For the circumstances, see pp. 169, 170, below. His defence of Gabinius and Vatinius (B.C. 54), creatures of Pompey and Caesar respectively, was less honorable to him; but he was hardly a free agent in these matters. "I am distressed," he write free to think as I will, but not even to hate as I will." Ad Quintum Fratrem, iii. 5 (6). The disturbances following the death of Clodius led to the appointment of Pompey as consul without colleague See p. 170, below. (practically dictator), in B.C. 52. One of his acts was to pass a law postponing the provincial administration of consuls and praetors until five years after their year of office. The interval was to be filled by such former magistrates as had never held a province. Among these w

to this end the prorogation of the imperium for a second year became regular. After the time of Sulla, all provinces were so governed, After the Sullan reforms (B.C. 80) the military imperium was not enjoyed by the consuls and praetors until their year of civil magistracy had expired. one of his laws providing that the consuls and praetors should set out for their provinces immediately on the expiration of their term of office in the city. This arrangement was changed by a law of Pompey (B.C. 52) which provided that five years should intervene between the magistracy and the provincial government. See Life of Cicero, p. xxiii, above. No difference was made between the power of a proconsul and that of a propraetor. Both officers had the full military and civil command and were almost absolute monarchs, except for their liability to be afterwards called to account (cf. p. lviii, above). Their opportunities for plunder were almost unlimited. Cf. Impeachment of Verres. Their power, h

BASILICA PORCIA the first basilica in Rome, built for judicial and business purposes by Cato in 184 B.C., in the face of much opposition (Liv. xxxix. 44; Ascon. in Mil. arg. 34; Plut. Cat. Mai. 19; Cat. Min. 5; de vir. ill. 47). It stood a little west of the curia, IN LAUTUMIIS (q.v.), on ground purchased by Cato and occupied by shops and two private houses, those of Maenius and Titius. In it the tribunes held court. It was burned in 52 B.C. with the curia of Sulla at the funeral of Clodius, and probably totally destroyed, as there is no further mention of it (Jord. i. 2. 344; Mitt. 1893, 84, 91; BC 1914, 107; Thed. 138- 139).

t was approached by a flight of steps (Liv. i. 48; Dion. Hal. iv. 38; cf. Liv. i. 36. 5). On its side wall, or at one side of it (in latere curiae), was a painting of the victory of M. Valerius Messala over Hiero and the Carthaginians in 263 B.C. (Plin. NH xxxv. 22; see TABULA VALERIA (2)). It was restored by Sulla in 80 B.C. and somewhat enlarged, the statues of Pythagoras and Alcibiades, which had stood at the corners of the Comitium, being removed (Plin. xxxiv. 26; cf. Dio xl. 49). In 52 B.C. it was burnt down by the partisans of Clodius and rebuilt by Sulla's son Faustus (Cic. pro Mil. 90, and Ascon. in loc. ; Pp. 29, 40, ed. Kiessling and Schoell. Dio, loc. cit.; Cic. de fin. v. 2 (written in 45 B.C.): Curiam nostram, Hostiliam dico, non hanc novam, quae minor mihi videtur postquam est maior, must also refer to this curia, and not to that of the elder Sulla, as Richter, 94, thinks). In 44 B.C. it was decided to build a new curia (Dio xliv. 5: e)peidh\ to\ *osti/lion kai/per

the statement of Chron. Pasch. a. u. c. 702; Chron. min. ed. Mommsen, i. 215). Gellius, however, goes on to say that the inscription in theatre did not read so in his day, nam cum multis annis postea scaena, quae prociderat, refecta esset, numerus tertii consulatus non uti initio primoribus litteris sed tribus tantum liniolis incisis significatus est. Whatever may have been true of the dedication, the inscription on the temple, or on the temple and scaena both, was evidently put in place in 52 B.C. From the notice in two calendars (Fast. Allif. Amit. ad pr. Id. Aug., CIL i². p. 217, 244, 324; cf. Suet. Claud. 2 : cum prius apud superiores aedes supplicasset) it appears that there were shrines or altars to three other deities, Honor Virtus and Felicitas, similarly placed in the theatre, and perhaps a fourth (Fast. Allif.: V. ... ?). Augustus restored the theatre at great expense in 32 B.C. (Mon. Anc. iv. 9: sine ulla inscriptione nominis mei; cf., however, CIL vi. 9404: in schola sub t

THEATRUM POMPEI), Pompeius built at the top of the central part of the cavea, so that the rows of seats might appear to be the steps leading up to it, and the whole structure be dedicated as a temple and not as a theatre (Tert. de spect. 0o; Tiro ap. Gell. x. I. 7, where the temple is called aedes Victoriae for Veneris Victricis; cf. Mommsen, CIL i. p. 323). The dedication took place in Pompeius' second consulship in 55 B.C. (Plin. NH viii. 20), but the inscription was not put in place until 52 (Gell. loc. cit.). The day of dedication was 12th August (Fast. Allif. Amit. ad prid. Id. Aug., CIL i². p. 217, 244, 324), when Honos et Virtus and Felicitas were joined with Venus, indicating that shrines of these deities stood near that of Venus (cf. Suet. Claud. 21: ludos dedicationis Pom- peiani theatri ... cum prius apud superiores aedes supplicaverat). The temple is mentioned on an inscription (vi. 785), It was found among the remains of the theatre near S. Maria di Grottapinta. and in

nica during the latter's exile. 21. The violence and disorder, with their accompaniment of bribery and political intrigue, Q.fr. 3.3.2. which had prevailed almost uninterruptedly from midsummer of the year 54 B.C., reached its climax in Jan., 52 B.C., in a riotous contest between the followers of Clodius and Milo, which resulted in the death of the former,Ascon. in Milon. p.32; Dio Cass. 40.48-50. and, as a last resort, Pompey was elected sole consul on the 24th of the intercalary month of59 B.C.

Watson, pp.287-290. Special legislation of the year 52 B.C. had allowed Caesar to sue, in 49 B.C., for the consulship, without personally attending the canvass (§ 2 i).

Att. 2.12.1. fidem recepisse, etc.: 'both Clodius and Appius have given him (Pompey) a promise not to attack me.' Recipio in this sense is colloquial. The full expression is in me recipio. Appium: Appius Claudius Pulcher, the brother of Clodius, had been Cicero's friend until the quarrel with Clodius occurred. He was in 52 B.C. Cicero's predecessor as governor of Cilicia. The 13 letters of Bk. 3 ad Fam., are addressed to him. multa contra : (sc. dixisse): cf. Intr. 95.
