Note 642 — CXLIX (Q FR III, 2)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Referring to the fact that Gabinius, on his arrival outside Rome, without the usual procession of friends which met a returning proconsul, skulked about till nightfall, not venturing to enter Rome (the city of his enemies!) in daylight. By entering Rome he gave up his imperium and could no longer ask a triumph.
