| QUOTATION: | When some were saying that if Cæsar should march against the city they could not see what forces there were to resist him, Pompey replied with a smile, bidding them be in no concern, for whenever I stamp my foot in any part of Italy there will rise up forces enough in an instant, both horse and foot. |
