Nec minus animose A. Fulvius, vir senatorii ordinis, euntem in aciem filium retraxit quam Scaurus e proelio fugientem increpuit: namque iuvenem et ingenio et litteris et forma inter aequales nitentem, pravo consilio amicitiam Catilinae secutum inque castra eius temerario impetu ruentem, medio itinere abstractum supplicio mortis adfecit, praefatus non se Catilinae illum adversus patriam sed patriae adversus Catilinam genuisse.
A. Fulvius, a man of senatorial rank, recalled his son who was on his way to fight with no less spirit than Scaurus rebuked his as he fled from battle. The young man, who shone among his peers in talent and letters and looks, had misguidedly followed Catilines friendship and was hurrying to his camp on a rash impulse. His father dragged him back in mid journey and put him to death, first observing that he had not begotten him for Catiline against his country but for his country against Catiline.
