Quo quidem tempore cum is excessisset, qui caedi et flammae vobis auctoribus restiterat, cum ferro et facibus homines tota urbe volitantes, magistratuum tecta impugnata, deorum templa inflammata, summi viri et clarissimi consulis fasces fractos, fortissimi atque optimi tribuni plebis sanctissimum corpus non tactum ac violatum manu, sed vulneratum ferro confectumque vidistis.
At such a time as this, when the man who, backed by your authority, had withstood fire and slaughter, had departed from you, you saw men flitting hither and thither about the city with swords and brands, you saw the houses of magistrates beset, the temples of the gods set on fire, the rods of a great man and a renowned consula broken, and the inviolable person of a gallant and honourable tribuneb of the plebs not merely defiled by the violation of a touch, but wounded with the sword and done to death.
