In this episode of Crime Time Inc., we dive deep into the life and mysterious death of Jörg Jenatsch, a Swiss political leader whose story is steeped in intrigue, violence, and assassination. Jenatsch's life journey is explored, from his humble beginnings as a Protestant pastor to his controversial career as a cunning and ruthless soldier of fortune during the turbulent Thirty Years War. The region of Grisons, amidst a power struggle between Protestant and pro-Spanish Catholic factions, serves as the backdrop for his transformative acts, including his involvement in the pivotal murder of Pompeius von Planta. The episode analyses whether Jenatsch's conversion to Catholicism was a genuine pivot or a strategic move, and how he masterfully switched sides, creating alliances where it suited his ambitions. We uncover the fascinating forensic investigations surrounding his brutal assassination, featuring an axe-wielding masked assailant during a Carnival celebration, as well as modern-day scientific techniques like DNA analysis and facial reconstruction that helped confirm the identity of his remains discovered in the Chur Cathedral. The podcast features riveting details from witness testimonies, facial reconstructions, and even isotope analysis shedding light on his diet and movements across Europe. Above all, it paints a vivid picture of Jenatsch as a master strategist and a complex figure embroiled in the grand political and religious strife of his times. His legacy remains hotly debated in Switzerland, posing crucial questions about his true motivations and the moral ambiguities of his actions.00:00 Introduction to the Case of Jörg Jenatsch00:28 Setting the Historical Context00:49 Jenatsch's Transformation from Pastor to Soldier01:23 The Murder of Pompeius von Planta02:15 Jenatsch's Military Career and Political Maneuvering03:07 Conversion to Catholicism and New Alliances03:59 The Assassination of Jörg Jenatsch05:57 Discovery of Jenatsch's Remains08:43 Forensic Analysis and Historical Insights10:29 The Significance of Millet in Jenatsch's Life11:15 Jenatsch's Controversial Legacy12:09 Isotope Analysis: Mapping Jenatsch's Movements13:13 Jenatsch's Family and Religious Tensions14:13 The Missing Hair Sample and Facial Reconstruction15:37 Unraveling Jenatsch's Motivations16:48 The Final Verdict on Jenatsch's Identity20:03 Reflecting on Jenatsch's Complex Legacy Hosted on Acast.

#244: Am 15. März 44 v. Chr. betritt Julius Caesar das Theater des Pompeius – ohne zu wissen, dass er es nie wieder verlassen wird. 60 Verschwörer, darunter seine engsten Vertrauten, lauern ihm auf. 23 Dolchstiche treffen ihn, und mit seinem Tod beginnt der blutige Untergang der römischen Republik. Was steckte wirklich hinter dem berühmtesten Attentat der Geschichte? War es Verrat oder eine letzte Rettungstat für die Republik? Welche Rolle spielte Brutus? Und wie konnte ein Mord, der Rom retten sollte, am Ende alles ins Chaos stürzen? In dieser Folge reisen wir mehr als 2000 Jahre zurück und besprechen den ältesten True-Crime-Fall, den es bei Mord auf Ex je gab. Linn und Leo rekonstruieren den Mord an Julius Caesar und tauchen in die tödlichen Intrigen des römischen Senats ein.

In this episode, I reflect on Meditation 3.3 from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, exploring its central themes: the inevitability of death, the futility of fearing it, and the Stoic imperative to live well while we can. Marcus reminds us that even the most accomplished and revered figures—be they healers, conquerors, or philosophers—ultimately succumb to mortality. Their stories serve as a humbling reminder of our shared fate and an encouragement to prioritize virtue over fame, power, or fear. Key Takeaways: Mortality as a Universal Truth: From Hippocrates, the renowned healer, to Alexander the Great, a world conqueror, and even pre-Socratic philosophers like Heraclitus and Democritus, death claims everyone regardless of their accomplishments, intellect, or virtue. The Two Reasons to Remember Mortality: (1) It motivates us to cherish the time we have and use it wisely, both for personal growth and to nurture meaningful relationships. (2) It grounds us in the natural order, reminding us that we are part of Nature and subject to its laws. Why Immortality Isn't the Goal: The aim of life isn't to avoid death but to live virtuously. A good life is defined by our choices and actions in the present, not by the number of years we accumulate. Marcus' Reassurance About Death: Marcus suggests that death leads to one of two outcomes: either we transition to another life governed by reason, or we enter a state of eternal rest free from pain and struggle. Both are nothing to fear. Living in Accord with Nature: Death, like all aspects of life, is part of the rational order of the Cosmos. By accepting it as natural, we can focus on fulfilling our purpose—striving for virtue and contributing to the Cosmopolis. “Hippocrates, after curing many sicknesses, himself fell sick and died. The Chaldean astrologers foretold the death of many persons, then the hour of fate overtook them also. Alexander, Pompeius, and Julius Caesar, after so often utterly destroying whole towns and slaying in the field many myriads of horse and foot, themselves also one day departed from life. Heraclitus, after many speculations about the fire which should consume the Universe, was waterlogged by dropsy, poulticed himself with cow-dung and died. Vermin killed Democritus; another kind of vermin Socrates. What is the moral? You went on board, you set sail, you have made the port. Step ashore: if to a second life, nothing is void of gods, not even in that other world; but if to unconsciousness, you will cease to suffer pains and pleasures and to be the servant of an earthly vessel as far inferior as that which does it service is superior; for the one is mind and deity, the other clay and gore.” - Meditations 3.3 -- Go ad-free : https://stoicismpod.com/members Join the Discord Community : https://stoicismpod.com/discord Follow the print publication : https://stoicismpod.com/print Take my free courses : https://stoicismpod.com/courses Order my book : https://stoicismpod.com/book Source Text : https://stoicismpod.com/far Follow me on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/tannerocampbell.bsky.social Follow me on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@stoicismpod Learn more about your ad choices.

Wir befinden uns im 15. März 44 v. Chr. Trotz böser Vorzeichen nähert sich Julius Cäsar dem Theater des Pompeius. Doch die Männer im Inneren haben einen Eid geschworen. Um die Republik aus den Händen dieses selbsternannten ,ewigen Diktators' zu retten, muss Cäsar sterben. Aber wo begann die Republik? Wie verwandelte sie Rom von einem kleinen Dorf in eine Supermacht? Und was trieb eine Regierung, die so entschieden gegen die Autokratie war, in die Diktatur? Das ist eine kurze Geschichte über...die Römische Republik. Mit Dank an Prof. Dr. Michael Sommer, Autor des Buches „Dark Rome: Das geheime Leben der Römer".

Da Cæsar ankom Egypt, i jakten på rivalen Pompeius, så fikk han en grotesk velkomstgave. Og før Cæsar forlot landet, for å utkjempe resten av den romerske borgerkrigen, så ble han viklet inn i egypternes egne problemer - en maktkamp mellom den unge faraoen Ptolemaios XIII og søsteren hans. En viss dronning, Kleopatra. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I år 49 før vår tidsregning krysset Cæsar grenseelven Rubicon, i spissen for legionene sine. Og med det gikk startskuddet for en borgerkrig, mellom Cæsar og det romerske senatet. Senatet satte sin lit til at Cæsars gamle alliansepartner, den forfengelige feltherren Pompeius, skulle hamle opp med Cæsar på slagmarken. Og på en slette i Hellas, møttes de to tidligere partnerne til dyst. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Episode 208 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where you will find a discussion thread for each of our podcast episodes and many other topics. This week we continue our discussion of Book Two of Cicero's On Ends, which is largely devoted Cicero's attack on Epicurean Philosophy. Going through this book gives us the opportunity to review those attacks, take them apart, and respond to them as an ancient Epicurean might have done, and much more fully than Cicero allowed Torquatus, his Epicurean spokesman, to do. Follow along with us here: Cicero's On Ends - Complete Reid Edition. Check any typos or other questions against the original PDF which can be found here.This week we move continue in Section XVIII:XVIII. But suppose that a man who does some unprincipled act is not only crafty, but also all-powerful, as was M. Crassus (who nevertheless used to rely on his own form of good) and as at the present time our friend Pompeius is, to whom we must feel obliged for his upright conduct, since he might have been as wicked as he pleased, without fear. Again how many unjust deeds may be committed, which no man is permitted to blame! If a friend of yours on his death-bed asks you to hand over his property to his daughter, and does not record the fact anywhere, as Fadius did, nor mention it to any one, what will you do? You, personally, would hand it over; possibly Epicurus himself would; so Sextus Peducaeus, the son of Sextus, who has left behind him a son, our friend, in whom are mirrored his culture and his integrity; he being not only a scholar, but the best and most just of men, though no one knew that such a request had been made to him by Gaius Plotius, a Roman knight of distinction belonging to Nursia, yet did actually come to the lady, and explained to her the husband's commission, when she had no suspicion of it, and then handed over to her the property. But, as you assuredly would have acted in the same way, I put the question to you whether you do not see how the power of nature is exalted by the fact that you, who determine all your actions by your own convenience and your own pleasure, as you your- selves declare, do in spite of that so act as to make it plain that you are guided not by pleasure but by duty, and that natural uprightness has more influence with you than your perverted philosophy? If, says Carneades, you know that a snake is concealed somewhere and that some one, by whose death you will gain, is intending to sit down on it unawares, you will do a rascally action, if you do not warn him not to sit down. But still, you would not be punished, for who could prove that you knew? But I am too diffuse, since it is clear that unless equity, faith and justice spring from nature, and if all these virtues be estimated by interest, a good man cannot anywhere be discovered, and enough has been said about this matter by Laelius in my volume about the commonwealth.

Saturday, 16 December 2023   The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.” And Paul said, “But I was born a citizen.” Acts 22:28   While preparing to have Paul scourged, the centurion was alerted to the fact that Paul was Roman. Hearing this, the centurion told his commander. From there, the commander went to Paul and asked if he was Roman. Paul responded affirmatively. Now, it says, “The commander answered, “With a large sum I obtained this citizenship.”   The words bear emphasis – “I, great sum, this citizenship bought.” The commander's response shows without any doubt that citizenship could be purchased and that he had done so at great expense, something he was quite proud of. Some believe that such a purchase was made through bribery of corrupt officials. Vincent's Word Studies says –   “The purchase of Roman citizenship was an investment. Under the first Roman emperors it was obtained only at large cost and with great difficulty; later, it was sold for a trifle.”   If that doesn't sound like the US today! It used to be an honor to earn citizenship. Now, it means nothing. It is handed out to those who don't deserve it, and it is denied to those who have demonstrated the wits, intelligence, and business acumen to merit it in the way the law clearly states.   The word translated as sum is kephalaion. It is used only twice in the New Testament, here and in Hebrews 8:1, where it is translated as “the main point.” It comes from kephale, meaning the head, a cornerstone, or even the primary head of something, like a ruler.   Also, the word translated as citizenship is politeia. It indicates “citizenship; concretely, a community -- commonwealth, freedom” (Strong's). Its only other use is in Ephesians 2:12 speaking of the commonwealth of Israel –   “Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth [politeia] of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:11-13   Now, and understanding the commander's words, it next says, “And Paul said, ‘But I was born a citizen.'” Again, the Greek is more emphatic. It reads, “I, and even, was born.” This means that he was born into a family who were already citizens. Many theories have arisen as to how he obtained it, but Ellicott may be correct –   “Many of the Jews who were taken to Rome by Pompeius as slaves first obtained their freedom and became libertini, and afterwards were admitted on the register as citizens. The mention of kinsmen or friends at Rome (Romans 16:7; Romans 16:11), makes it probable, as has been said, that the Apostle's father may have been among them.”   Life application: Think about what this conversation means in relation to the world today. Something that was once highly cherished, even precious and/or life-saving, eventually meant nothing at all. The leaders of the great and vast Roman empire squandered what had been built. The mid-level officials had become corrupt and uncaring about safeguarding what had been entrusted to them.   Eventually, Roman citizenship had no value at all. Today, the exact same attitude is on display in most of the great and powerful governments of the world. Obtaining US citizenship, for example, is a laughable process that is so misused by government employees that for a quick bribe when no one is looking, even pedophiles can easily obtain it.   The only citizenship that truly matters in this world is the one that will never be diminished in how it is obtained –   “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22   There is only one way heavenly citizenship is realized, and it is through faith in what God has done in and through the giving of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. While the rest of the world is hurriedly seeking things that have no lasting value, Jesus Christ's offer stands as an eternal hope for those who come to him.   This offer comes at the highest price of all, and yet, that price has been paid already through Jesus' cross. All that is needed to appropriate it is to believe to the saving of the soul.   Lord God, how thankful we are that there is a hope beyond this fallen world. We strive for things that have no value and things that can be taken away or lost in a moment. But what You offer is eternal citizenship in a heavenly kingdom. May we be willing to share this good news with those who so desperately need it. To Your glory, we pray. Amen.

Historical Context of the Nativity - God's covenant with Israel o The Promised Land was given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the Jews would be Yahweh's people, and Yahweh would be their God. o However, Israel was disobedient, and worshipped other gods, and did many other wicked things besides, so God then handed Judah and Israel over to their enemies. - Babylonian Captivity o The Assyrians captured the northern kingdom of Judah in 721 BC; the Babylonians conquered Israel in 597 BC; both of these events came to pass just as God had sent the prophets to forewarn and promise the people. o With these two successive conquests, of Judah and Israel, many Jews were killed, or carried into foreign lands, or fled, or else were ruled over in their ancestral homeland by foreigners. o The Babylonians and Assyrians both were conquered and subsumed by the Achaemenid Persian empire. - Hellenization o With Alexander the Great's defeat of the Persians, his empire took possession of Judea. o After the death of Alexander, four of his generals divided the empire, and the part containing what had formerly been Israel was ruled by the Seleucids starting in 281 BC. o The Seleucid King Antiochus Epiphanes, ruling from 175-164 BC, persecuted the Jews, desecrating the temple in Jerusalem, and forcing the high priest and other devout Jews to eat pork, which they were forbidden to do. o This led to what was known as the Maccabean revolt in 167-160 BC, in which the Jews led by a certain warrior group called the Maccabees drove the Seleucids out, and established nominal Jewish self-government in the region again from about 110-63 BC. o A characteristic of this government, called the Hasmonean dynasty, was a reduction in the influence of both Hellenism and Hellenistic Judaism. - Roman Conquest o The Hasmoneans were conquered by the Roman general Pompeius in 63 BC, thus ending, until modern times, meaningful Jewish self-rule. o As a client kingdom of the Roman empire, particularly under Herod the Great after the Roman Senate declared him “King of the Jews” in 37 BC, Judea was effectively under Roman rule. - Herod the Great o As a vassal of the Roman empire, Herod got his position because of his father's close relationship with the Roman general and dictator Julius Caesar. o To give you an idea of how ruthless he was, his mother-in-law was a part of the Hasmonean dynasty, and plotted at one point to restore the former dynasty to power by installing Aristobulus III, a member of her family, as the high priest, then sending him off to meet with Mark Antony, who was then in the midst of fighting a civil war with Octavian over who would be the Roman emperor after the assassination of Julius Caesar. § Herod was just so sure Aristobulus III would replace him as King of the Jews if he met with Antony that he arranged for the assassination of Aristobulus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Los Miserables Autor: Víctor Hugo Segunda Parte: Cosette Libro primero Waterloo Cap VII : Napoleón de buen humor. El emperador, aunque enfermo y molesto a caballo por una dolencia local, no había estado nunca de tan buen humor como aquel día. Desde por la mañana su impenetrabilidad era sonriente. El 18 de junio de 1815, de aquella alma honda, enmascarada de mármol, brotaba una irradiación ciega. El hombre que estuvo adusto en Austerlitz estuvo alegre en Waterloo. Los predestinados más excelsos cometen contrasentidos así. Nuestras alegrías son oscuridad. La sonrisa suprema pertenece a Dios. Ridet Caesar, Pompeius flebit, decían los legionarios de la Legio Fulminatrix. En esta ocasión, Pompeyo no iba a llorar, pero lo cierto es que César reía. Ya la víspera, a la una de la madrugada, recorriendo a caballo, entre la tormenta y la lluvia, con Bertrand, las colinas del vecindario de Rossomme, satisfecho al ver la prolongada línea de las hogueras inglesas que iluminaba todo el horizonte, desde Frischemont hasta Braine-l'Alleud, le había parecido que el destino, al que había citado con fecha fija en los campos de Waterloo, había sido puntual; detuvo el caballo y se quedó unos momentos quieto, mirando los relámpagos, escuchando el trueno; y oyeron a aquel fatalista soltar entre las sombras esta frase misteriosa: «Estamos de acuerdo». Napoleón se equivocaba. Ya no estaban de acuerdo. No se permitió ni un minuto de sueño, todos los instantes de aquella noche llevaron para él la marca de una alegría. Recorrió toda la línea de los cuerpos de la guardia mayor deteniéndose acá y allá para decirles algo a los más destacados. A las dos y media, cerca del bosque de Hougomont, oyó el paso de una columna en marcha; por un momento, creyó que Wellington retrocedía. Dijo: Es la retaguardia inglesa que se pone en marcha para largarse. Haré prisioneros a los seis mil ingleses que acaban de llegar a Ostende. Estaba expansivo; había recuperado la elocuencia inspirada del 1 de marzo, cuando le señalaba al gran mariscal al campesino entusiasta del golfo Juan al tiempo que exclamaba: ¡Mira, Bertrand, ya nos llegan refuerzos! La noche del 17 al 18 se reía de Wellington: Ese inglesito necesita que le den una lección, decía Napoleón. Llovía cada vez más; tronaba mientras hablaba el emperador. A las tres y media de la mañana se había quedado sin una ilusión; unos oficiales enviados para llevar a cabo un reconocimiento le comunicaron que el enemigo no estaba haciendo movimiento alguno. Nada se movía; no estaba apagada ni una sola hoguera de los vivaques. El ejército inglés dormía. Reinaba un silencio profundo en la tierra; sólo había ruido en el cielo. A las cuatro, los batidores le trajeron a un campesino; ese campesino había hecho de guía a una brigada de caballería inglesa, probablemente la brigada Vivian, que iba a tomar posición en el pueblo de Ohain, en la zona más a la izquierda. A las cinco, dos desertores belgas le contaron que acababan de irse de su regimiento y que el ejército inglés estaba a la espera de la batalla. ¡Mejor! —exclamó Napoleón—. Prefiero darles un revolcón que repelerlos. Por la mañana, en el talud de la revuelta del camino de Plancenoit, se apeó del caballo en pleno barrizal, mandó que le trajeran de la granja de Rossomme una mesa de cocina y una silla de labriego, se sentó, con un manojo de paja a modo de alfombra, y desplegó encima la mesa el mapa del campo de batalla, diciéndole a Soult: ¡Bonito tablero de ajedrez!

Sextus Pompeius was the youngest son of Pompey the Great, and was responsible for leading the last great resistance of the Roman republic against Octavian and Mark Antony. While he made the most of his late father's reputation, Sextus was a leader in his own right, and to many a forgotten aspect of this period of Roman history.

Charles Merivale (1808 - 1893) In this short volume, the British historian, Charles Merivale, describes the long conflict by which the rule of one man replaced the Roman Republic. Here we meet that ineffectual has-been Pompeius, the resourceful military and political genius, Julius Caesar, unbending Cato, brave, dissolute Marcus Antonius, grandiloquent, doomed Cicero, peerless Cleopatra and, almost the sole survivor, crafty, cold, and sagacious young Octavius Genre(s): War & Military, Antiquity --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/3daudiobooks0/support

Während auf den Straßen Roms chaotische Zustände herrschen, werden die Mitglieder des ersten Triumvirats – Cäsar, Pompeius und Crassus – immer mächtiger. Sie haben den Senat weitgehend entmachtet und teilen die Herrschaft unter sich auf. Je energischer ihre Gegner sie in die Schranken weisen wollen, desto näher rückt das Ende der Republik.

In Folge 5, erzähle ich ein wenig über das erste Triumvirat seiner Art. In erster Linie geht es um Crassus, Pompeius und Cäsar. Viel Spaß! E-Mail für Vorschläge: einereiseinunseregeschichte@gmail.com

Als die Römer und ihre Verbündeten dem Seleukidenreich eine vernichtende Niederlage beibringen, destabilisieren sie die östliche Mittelmeerregion. Das Resultat ist ein wahres Heer aus Piraten, das immer mächtiger wird und schließlich auch vor Rom selbst keine Angst mehr hat.

50 f.kr. hade Gaius Julius Caesar underkuvat Gallien, men hans viktiga roll i Roms historia hade bara börjat. I detta avsnitt berättar Peter och Johan om inbördeskriget mot Pompeius, Cleopatra och konspirationen mot Caesar. Vi följer den kanske kändaste romaren av alla genom dagens Italien, Grekland, Egypten, Tunisien och Spanien - ända till slutet den 15 mars 44 f.kr. i Rom.

Caesar și Cleopatra. Moartea lui Cato. Sfârșitul războiului civil și dictatura lui Caesar. Idele lui Martie. Moartea lui Burebista.

Vem var Pompeius och varför kallas han för Den Store? I det här avsnittet går Peter och Johan igenom bildandet av det första triumviratet 60 f.kr. Triumviratet var en allians mellan de tre mäktigaste politikerna i Rom vid denna tid: Marcus Licinius Crassus, Gnaeus Pompeius och inte minst Gaius Julius Caesar. Crassus var omåttligt rik och Pompeius var länge den mäktigaste mannen i Rom, men den yngre Caesar kom så småningom att överskugga dem båda två.

Postridie Calendas Decembres. Xeri datum. Huic conventiculo praeter veterani intersunt sodales novi tironicidium ineuntes: Iosephus M. Ruiz et Ioannes Pérez, Xerenses, Hispani. Litteris humanioribus studentes nostram linguam Graecamque in Un. Studiorum Gaditana discunt. Hodie in nostro Circulo actum est de varietate cuiuslibet generis qua quidam textus mutari possit, sicut 'urbs marmorea', qui in Roma Aeterna legitur: Extra forum Ròmànum sunt alia multa aedificia pùblica. Iam veterès règès Ròmàni in valle Murcià, quae inter Palàtium et Aventìnum interiecta est, circum Màximum cònstituèrunt, qUI aCaesare renovàtus plùs quam trecentòs passùs longus est et octògintà milia spectàtòrum capit. Alter circus posteà in campo Màrtiò aedificàtus est et circus Flàminius appellàtus a nomine C. Flàminii, qUI eòdem tempore viam Flàminiam mùnivit; tertius circus tràns Tiberim in agro Vaticano constitùtus a principe C. Caligulà, Non procul a circo Flàminiò Cn. Pompèius consul amplissimum theàtrum marmoreum aedificandum cùràvit cum porticù et nova curia. In curia Pompèià statua Pompèii locàta erat, ad cuius pedés C.Il11ius Caesar a M. Bruto, C. Cassio aliisque senàtòribus necàtus est. Id factum est Idibus Martiìs quarto anno postquam Caesar exercitum Pompei! superàvit in Thessalià ad oppidum Pharsàlum, Post necem Caesaris curia Pompèia a populò Irato incensa est Ecce aliter modo:Sub foro Romano plurima aedificia publica sunt. Antea antiqui reges Romani in valle Murcia inter Palatium et Aventinum interiectâ, circum Maximum struxerunt, a Caesare postea renovatum, plus quam trescentos passus longum et octoginta milia spectatorum capiens. Alterum circum deinde Romani constituerunt in campô Martiô cui nomen Flaminius est, a C Flaminiô, tunc viae Flaminiae munitore; princeps C.Caligula tertium circum constituit in ripâ Tiberis oppositâ, ubi ager Vaticanus patet. Prope circum Flaminium Cn. Pompeius consul curavit ut latissimum theatrum e marmore factum cum porticu aedificatum esset et nova curia quae signô ipsius consulis ornabatur; in eô ipsô locô ad pedes statuae Pompeii, M. Brutus, C. Cassius et alii senatores Caesarem Idibus Martiis interfecerunt, exercitu Pompeii abhinc quattuor annos apud Pharsalum in regione Tessaliae a Caesare superatô. Postquam Caesar necatus est, populus irâ motus curiam Pompeiam incendit.Iterum: Aedificia plurima Forum Romanum cingunt. Olim reges iuxta vallem Murciam Circum Maximum exstruxerunt quem postea Caesar novavit quo plures spectatores reciperet. Muniente viam consule C. Flaminio, eius nomine appellatus est circus alter qui in campo Martio exstructus est. Postquam vero C. Caligula tertium in agro Vaticano trans Tiberim aedificavit, marmoreum theatrum amplum et satis capax perfici iussit Pompeius praeditum et porticu et nova curia quam ornabat ipsius statua a Caesare visa cum mortem obiit a Bruto aliisque vulneratus. Periit enim anno quarto post victoriam in Thessalia adeptam. Curiam autem post Caesaris necem ira populi incendit. IterumAlia multa aedificia publica non in foro Romano sunt. Veteres reges Romani in valle Veneria, quae inter Palatinum et Aventinum est, antea constituerunt circum Maximum quem Caesar plus quam trecentos passus longus augescit et quo octoginta spectatorum milia advenire possunt. In campo Martio postea aedificatus est alter circus, Flaminius appellatus in memoriam C. Flaminii qui eodem tempore viam Flaminiam fecit; princeps C. Caligula trans Tiberim in agro Vaticano tertium circum constituit. Cn. Pompeius consul propius circum Flaminium in amplissimum theatrum marmoreum aedificando versatus est cum porticu et nova curia. M. Brutus, C. Cassius et alii senatores ad pedes Pompeii statuae, quae in hac curia locata erat, C. Iulium Caesarem necaverunt. Id accidit Idibus Martiis quarto anno postquam Caesar Pompeii exercitum in Thesalia iuxta Fharsalum oppidum vicit. Caesare occiso, populus iratus Pompeii curiam cremavit.
