quid quod aedes suas diruit, quia excelsiore loco positae instar arcis habere videbantur? nonne quantum domo inferior tantum gloria superior evasit? Vix iuvat abire a Publicola, sed venire ad Furium Camillum libet, cuius tam moderatus ex magna ignominia ad summum imperium transitus fuit, ut cum praesidium eius cives, capta urbe a Gallis, Ardeae exsulantis petissent, non prius Veios ad accipiendum exercitum iret quam de dictatura sua omnia sollemni iure acta comperisset.
Add that he demolished his house because it stood on high ground giving the appearance of a citadel. Can we not say that the lower his house, the more lofty became his glory? With some reluctance I leave Publicola, but I am glad to come to Furius Camillus. So moderate was his passage from deep disgrace to the highest authority that when he was in exile at Ardea and his countrymen besought his aid after the capture of the city by the Gauls, he did not go to Veii to take command of the army until he had ascertained that everything concerning his appointment as Dictator had been carried out in regular legal form.
