Tumultum esse decrevi; iustitium edici, saga sumi dixi placere, quo omnes acrius graviusque incumberent ad ulciscendas rei publicae iniurias, si omnia gravissimi belli insignia suscepta a senatu viderent.
I proposed a decree recognizing a state of public emergency, I presented a resolution calling for a proclamation to be issued suspending business and for the donning of military cloaks in order that all might press to avenge the injuries of the Republic more intensely and energetically if they saw the senate authorizing all the outward signs of a most serious war.
