The Letters of Cicero, Volume 1

Note 389 — XC (A IV, 2)

Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation

A portico or colonnade, built by Q. Catulus, the conqueror of the Cimbri, on the site of the house of M. Flaccus, who was killed with Saturninus in B.C. 100. It was close to Cicero's house, and what Clodius appears to have done was to pull down the portico, and build another, extending over part of Cicero's site, on which was to be a temple for his statue of Liberty.
