O knihe

Excerpt from Cicero's Oration Pro Lege Manilia: Delivered to the Roman Burgesses on the Commission of Cn. Pompey (De Imperio Cn. Pompeii)

The war with Mithridates had, thanks to Lucullus, long reached the stage at which real danger was over. Early in the year 73 indeed, Mithridates, at the head of foot - soldiers, trained on the Roman system, and almost undisputed master of the sea, was a most formidable competitor for the supremacy of Asia. But Lucullus paralysed his power on the Grani cus, and by the end of 73 his vast forces were anni hilated. Nor had the vigorous efforts which he made in 72 to retrieve his losses placed him in a better position. He saw his armies disperse in panic terror he had himself barely escaped falling into the enemy's hands, and had to submit to the scarcely less humilia tion of throwing himself on the compassion of his son in-law Tigranes.
