An me luxuriae indulgentem putatis arma vestra auro argentoque adornasse? Assuetis nihil vilius hac videre materia volui ostendere, Macedonas invictos ceteris ne auro quidem  vinci.
Do you think it was to gratify my luxury that I adorned your arms with gold and silver? I wished to show to those who are accustomed to nothing cheaper than those metals that the Macedonians, who are invincible in other things, cannot be outdone even in gold.
