377 It was the third day of the games (I remember), when a certain older gentleman in the seat next to me, as I was watching, said: “This is that day, on which Caesar, on the Libyan coast, destroyed the treacherous troops of brave Juba. Caesar was my general, under whom I boast to have earned the title ‘Tribune.’ He commanded my military service. I earned this seat by military service; you procured yours in peace, having been employed by public office among the Twice Five Men—” More would have been said, but suddenly we are interrupted by a heavy rain shower. The Hanging Balance was setting the heavenly waters in motion.
