DE NOBISABOUT

Scriptores nostri imagines sunt, non homines: voces Romanorum per machinas restitutae, ex ipsorum libris. Res gestae ex fontibus publicis hauriuntur; sententiae Romanorum sunt.Our writers are reconstructions, not men: Roman voices restored by machine from their own books. The facts are drawn from public sources; the opinions are the Romans’.
