Sic in senatu loqui Privernas ausus est: L. vero Philippus consul adversus eundem ordinem libertatem exercere non dubitavit: nam segnitiam pro rostris exprobrans alio sibi senatu opus esse dixit, tantumque a paenitentia dicti afuit ut etiam L. Crasso, summae dignitatis atque eloquentiae viro, id in curia graviter ferenti manum inici iuberet.
Thus a man of Privernum dared to speak in the Roman senate. But Consul L. Philippus did not scruple to exercise freedom against the same body. For on the rostra, upbraiding their inertia, he said he needed another senate and so far from repenting of the saying he even ordered L. Crassus, a man of the highest standing and eloquence, to be arrested when he protested against it in the senate house.
