150 POMPEY THE GREAT chap.
76 B. C. Harangues, in which he demanded the restoration of the 75 B. C. Tribunician power ; ^ and before Pompey's letter arrived the price of corn had risen so high in consequence of piracy that the populace, whose monthly doles had been withdrawn after the fall of Lepidus, ^ attacked the consuls, Lucius Octavius and Aurelius Cotta, in the Sacred Way and drove them to take refuge in Octavius's house.^ Cotta, however, was not deterred from facing the people in the For...um. He made a conciliatory speech, empha- sizing the difficidties with which the Government had to contend and appealing to his hearers to make allowances. Pompey and Metellus, lie explained, were demanding reinforcements, money, and grain ; the attitude of IMithradates was so threatening that it was necessary to keep troops in Asia ; the revenues received from the provinces were diminished by war and insufficient to balance expenditure, and it Avas therefore impossible to maintain a fleet strong enough to protect the store-ships against the pirates.
