Quid ego gloriosius meis posteris potui relinquere quam hoc, senatum iudicasse, qui civis me non defendisset, eum rem publicam salvam noluisse? Itaque tantum vestra auctoritas, tantum eximia consulis dignitas valuit, ut dedecus et flagitium se committere putaret, si qui non veniret.
What prouder boast could I have handed on to posterity than that the senate had pronounced that the citizen who had not helped me had shown his unwillingness to preserve the state? So irresistible, then, was the authority of your order and the unsurpassed qualities of the consul, that any who failed to rally at that call felt that he was incurring a criminal disgrace.
