Note 155 — XXVI (A II, 1)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Though Cæsar has been mentioned before in regard to his candidature for the consulship, and in connexion with the Clodius case, this is the first reference to him as a statesman. He is on the eve of his return from Spain, and already is giving indication of his coalition with Pompey. His military success in Spain first clearly demonstrated his importance.
