AFter the Senate (as I haue said) con∣descended to Catoes opi∣nion, the Consull thin∣king it the best expedient, to anticipate the next night; lest any thing might be innouated in the meane time, hee com∣mands the Triumuirs to
prepare prouisions need∣full for the execution: he himselfe, the Guardes be∣ing disposed, conducts Lentulus vnto the prison, the like is done to the rest by the Praetours. There is a place in the prison cal∣led Tullianum, as soone as you are ascended a lit∣tle towards the left hand, it stands about twelue foot deep in the ground, the walls fortifie it round about, and aboue, a vault bound together with stone Arches: but the as∣pect of it is filthy & feare∣full through darkenesse, stench and neglect of cleansing. Lentulus being brought thither, the Exe∣cutioners for capitall
crimes, to whom this was inioyned, strangled him with a halter. Thus this man being a Patrician, of the most Noble Corn••lian Family, hauing born Con∣sular command in Rome, found out a death worthy of his conditions and a∣ctions: the like punish∣ment was taken vpon Ce∣thegus, Statilius, Gabinius, and Ceparius.
