Quotation |
Anno ab urbe condita CCCLXIIII, quem annum sicut grauissimum propter ignotam sibi captiuitatem Roma persensit ita magnificum propter insolitam pacem Graecia habuit, eo siquidem tempore, quo Galli Romam captam incensamque tenuerunt ac uendiderunt, Artaxerxes rex Persarum discedere ab armis et quiescere in pace uniuersam Graeciam per legatos praecepit, denuntians contradictorem pacis bello inpetendum. |
Translation |
364 years after the foundation of the City, a year which weighed heavily
on Rome because of her enslavement, something which she had never
known before, but which Greece considered magnificent because of the
peace, something which she had hardly known before, while the Gauls
occupied and sold a captive Rome reduced to ashes, Artaxerxes, the king
of the Persians, through his envoys ordered all of Greece to desist from
fighting and live at peace, warning that he would wage war on anyone who
broke the peace. |
