Itaque si crederem satis certam esse possessionem terrarum, quas tanta velocitate domuimus, ego vero, milites, ad penates meos, ad parentem sororesque et ceteros cives, vel retinentibus vobis, erumperem, ut ibi potissimum parta vobiscum laude et gloria fruerer, ubi nos uberrima victoriae praemia expectant, liberum, coniugum parentumque laetitia, pacis quies, rerum per virtutem partarum secura possessio.
Therefore, if I believed that the possession of the lands which we have so quickly subdued were wholly secure, I myself, my soldiers, even if you wished to hold me back, would rush to my home, to my mother and sisters, and to the rest of our fellow countrymen, in order that there rather than elsewhere I might enjoy with you the praise and glory which we have won, where the richest rewards of victory await us, the happiness of our children, wives and parents, the repose of peace, the carefree possession of the fruits of our valour.
