Quam praecipuam in C. quoque Caesare fuisse et saepenumero apparuit et ultimus eius dies significavit: compluribus enim parricidarum violatus mucronibus, inter ipsum illud tempus quo divinus spiritus mortali discernebatur a corpore, ne tribus quidem et viginti vulneribus quin verecundiae obsequeretur absterreri potuit, si quidem utraque togam manu demisit, ut inferior pars corporis tecta collaberetur.
That C. Caesar too had this quality in no ordinary measure was often evident and the last day of his life showed it. Gashed by the blades of many traitors, at the very moment when his divine spirit was being separated from his mortal body, three and twenty wounds could not deter him from obedience to modesty. With both hands he let his gown fall so that the lower part of his body was covered as he collapsed.
