At Marius, ut supra diximus, cupientissuma plebe consul factus, postquam ei provinciam Numidiam populus iussit, antea iam infestus nobilitati, tum vero multus atque ferox instare, singulos modo, modo univorsos laedere, dictitare sese consulatum ex victis illis spolia cepisse, alia praeterea magnifica pro se et illis dolentia.
But, as I noted earlier, Marius had been chosen consul with the ardent support of the commons, and after the people assigned him the province of Numidia, then indeed he persistently and boldly attacked the aristocracy to whom he had already shown his hostility. He assailed now individuals, now the entire group; he kept saying he had wrested the consulship from them as spoils from the conquered, as well as other boastful things on his own behalf and grievous to the nobles.
