Nicolaus of Damascus' life of Augustus

Note 23 — TRANSLATION

Clayton Morris Hall translation

Valesius took this to be a reference to a custom prevalent in Rome in Cicero’s time. Foppish young men and even senators were to be seen arrayed not in the ordinary Roman, but in Eastern garb. See Cic., pro Rab. Post., 10, 27, where, however, there is a slight corruption of the text.
