quem quid aliud quam nimio gaudio enectum putemus? en cui Numantia aut Carthago excidenda traderetur! Maioris aliquanto spiritus dux Q. Catulus, Cimbrici triumphi C. Mario particeps a senatu datus, sed exitus violentioris: namque ab hoc eodem Mario postea propter civiles dissensiones mori iussus, recenti calce illito multoque igni percalefacto cubiculo se inclusum peremit.
What are we to think but that he was killed by excessive joy? A fine one he to be entrusted with the razing of Numantia or Carthage! A general of considerably greater spirit was Q. Catulus, given to Marius by the senate to share the Cimbrian triumph, but his death was more violent. For later, ordered to die by this same Marius on account of civil strife, he had his bedroom, which had recently been coated with lime, heated with a great fire and shut himself inside.
