Semper ille populum Romanum liberum voluit maximumque signum illo die dedit voluntatis et iudici sui, cum Antonio diadema Caesari imponente se avertit gemituque et maestitia declaravit quantum haberet odium servitutis, quam populum Romanum liberum cuperet, quam illa quae tulerat temporum magis necessitate quam iudicio tulisset.
Lepidus has ever wished the Roman people to be free; and he gave an unmistakable indication of his wishes and judgment that day when Antonius tried to place a diadem on Caesars head: Lepidus turned away and declared by a groan and a sad countenance how much he hated slavery and desired the Roman people to be free, how his tolerance of what he had tolerated had been due to the necessity of the times rather than his own choice.
