cIceRoagainstverres

Judges, at this grave crisis in the history of our country, youhave been o∂ered a peculiarly desirable gift, a gift almost tooopportune to be of human origin: it almost seems heaven-sent. For you have been given a unique chance to make your Senatorial Order less unpopular, and to set right the damaged reputation of these courts. A belief has taken root which is having a fatal e∂ect on our nation – and which to us who are Senators, inparticular, threatens grave peril. This belief is on everyone’s tongue, at Rome and even in foreign countries. It is this: that in these courts, with their present membership, even the worst criminal will never be convicted provided that he has money.

That, then, is the dangerous crisis with which your Order and your courts are faced. Speeches have been prepared, laws drafted, with the purpose of inflaming still further this hatred that already rages against the Senate. And at this very juncture Gaius Verres1 has been brought to trial. Here is a man whose life and actions the world has already condemned – yet whose enormous fortune, according to his own loudly expressed hopes, has already brought him acquittal! I, gentlemen, am his prosecutor, and the people of Rome are strongly and confidently on my side. To increase the unpopularity of your Order is very far from my intention. On the contrary, I am eager to remove your bad reputation – which is as much mine as yours. Andthe defendant whom I am prosecuting, being the man he is,provides you with your opportunity to recover the lost prestige of these courts and to regain the favour of Romans and theoutside world alike.

Verres has sacked the Treasury. He has devastated Asia and Pamphylia. His tenure of the city-praetorship was a record of robberies; and the province of Sicily found him an annihilating pestilence. Pronounce a just and scrupulous verdict against Verres, and you will keep the good name which ought always to be yours. Let us imagine, on the other hand, that his great wealth succeeds in undermining the conscience and honesty of the judges. Well, even then I shall accomplish one thing. For thegeneral conclusion will not be that the judges failed to find a guilty defendant – or that the defendant lacked a competent prosecutor.On the contrary: the deduction will be that there are no good judges in the land. 11/14 Cycles Eleven Italic

Judges, at this grave crisis in the history of our country, youhave been o∂ered a peculiarly desirable gift, a gift almost tooopportune to be of human origin: it almost seems heaven-sent. For you have been given a unique chance to make your Senatorial Order less unpopular, and to set right the damaged reputation of these courts. A belief has taken root which is having a fatal e∂ect on our nation – and which to us who are Senators, inparticular, threatens grave peril. This belief is on everyone’s tongue, at Rome and even in foreign countries. It is this: that in these courts, with their present membership, even the worst criminal will never be convicted provided that he has money.

That, then, is the dangerous crisis with which your Order and your courts are faced. Speeches have been prepared, laws drafted, with the purpose of inflaming still further this hatred that already rages against the Senate. And at this very juncture Gaius Verres has been brought to trial. Here is a man whose life and actions the world has already condemned – yet whose enormous fortune, according to his own loudly expressed hopes, has already brought him acquittal! I, gentlemen, am his prosecutor, and the people of Rome are strongly and confidently on my side. To increase the unpopularity of your Order is very far from my intention. On the contrary, I am eager to remove your bad reputation – which is as much mine as yours. Andthe defendant whom I am prosecuting, being the man he is,provides you with your opportunity to recover the lost prestige of these courts and to regain the favour of Romans and theoutside world alike.

While the provincial governor regarded it as a perquisite of his o∑ce

to despoil his province, its complete exploitation was due to the system

which placed the collection of provincial taxes in the hands of private

taxes of Asia; and the large sta∂ of agents maintained for the purpose in

the province, while supported by all the resources of rome, were respon-
