lity. The Athenians lived frugally at all times, and the Greeks are on the whole a frugal nation ; the Italians, on the other hand, can be frugal; but at times, when they are let loose, they indulge in brutal intempe- rance.
Although the form and appearance of the Roman con- stitution continued to be democratical, yet the nobles could do anything with impunity. I need only remind you of L. Quinctius Flamininus who slaughtered a... man of Gallic origin, who implored his assistance either against an un- just verdict, or because he, being an hostage, had been insulted, merely to afford his favourite the pleasure of seeing a man struggling in the agonies of death '^ — a crime more horrible than that of the sultan who called in a man and ordered him to be beheaded, in order that his painter might have something frightful to paint. Cato ejected him from the senate. Although the Romans were, in general, much more conscientious than the Greeks, and although Polybius, fifty years after this time, places them very far above the Greeks, still embezzlement of the public money, extortions from the allies, and acts of violence and wantonness of every description, are hence- forth of quite common occurrence.
