ABSTRACT
This chapter explains Lentelus Gracchus memories and some particulars of his stay at the Villa Salaria. Gracchus, who was almost as wealthy as Crassus, never permitted himself to build or purchase one of the private villas which were going up in the new part of the city, among the gardens and parks along the river. In his memory, Gracchus lived the argument again and lost again and saw them, in their incredible fear of slave revolt, determines to send six of the City Cohorts. But here, on this pleasant terrace at the home of my dear and good friend, Antonius Caius, with the company we have, we can dispense with legends. Then we will come to the house where your Senate sits and we will drag them out of their high and mighty seats, and we will tear off their robes so that they may stand naked and be judged as we have always been judged.
