At Perse rege devicto Paullus, cum Macedonicis opibus veterem atque hereditariam urbis nostrae paupertatem eo usque satiasset ut illo tempore primum populus Romanus tributi praestandi onere se liberaret, penates suos nulla ex parte locupletiores fecit, praeclare secum actum existimans quod ex illa victoria alii pecuniam, ipse gloriam occupasset.
After defeating king Perses Paullus satiated the ancient hereditary poverty of our city with the wealth of Macedonia so that the Roman people then for the first time freed itself from the burden of paying war tax. But he made his own house no whit the richer, thinking himself excellently done by in that others took money from that victory but he took the glory.
