quod aliquanto maius videbitur si qui cognoscat lecti illius frontem Macedonicis triumphis fuisse adornatam: quantum enim Paullo tribuerunt, propter quem gentis suae cladium indicia per ora vulgi ferre non exhorruerunt! quod spectaculum funeri speciem alterius triumphi adiecit: bis enim te, Paulle, Macedonia urbi nostrae illustrem ostendit, incolumem spoliis suis, fato functum umeris.
That will appear the more extraordinary if one learns that the front of that bier was decorated with Macedonian triumphs. What a tribute to Paullus, for whose sake they did not shudder to carry the tokens of their national disasters before the eyes of the populace! The spectacle gave the funeral the aspect of a second triumph. For twice over, Paullus, did Macedonia display you in glory to our city: by her spoils when you were alive, by her shoulders after your passing.
