Plut. Mor., Apophthegms of Kings 85 — The Apopthegms or Remarkable Sayings of Kings and Great Commanders, Plutarch; served verbatim

LUTATIUS CATULUS. Lutatius Catulus in the Cimbrian war lay encamped by the side of the river Athesis, and his soldiers, seeing the barbarians attempting to pass the river, gave back; when he could not make them stand, he hastened to the front of them that fled, that they might not seem to fly from their enemies but to follow their commander.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
