Reading edition
“Inquietatus fremitu gratuita in Circo loca de media nocte occupantium, omnes fustibus abegit; elisique per eum tumultum viginti amplius Equites Romani, totidem matronæ, super innumeram turbam ceteram.” (Suetonii Caligula, cap. 26.)
A similar mania has sometimes been heard of in recent times in Paris and in London.
