Ascon. 78: “Ut, quem populus damnasset cuive imperium abrogasset, in senatu non esset.” The disgraceful defeat of Caepio in Gaul and his embezzlement of the treasury found at Tolosa excited the people to this line of action; cf. Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 484. On the author, see Münzer, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iii. 1738. 63.
