(b)The one Consulship of O Laelius.] With L. Cornelius Scipio, an Eloquent and wise man.
(c) Four times as Cinna.] A bloody, leud, and violent Magistrate, when hindred by his Fellow Consul Cnaeus Octa∣vius, from passing unduly some pernicious Laws, he fled Rome, freed Slaves, and call'd home C. Marius from Africa with other Randiti, storm'd Rome, cut off the Head of his Fellow-Consul, and expos'd it upon the Rostra, or Pleading-place. P. Crassus Father and Son were slain, with C. Julius Caesar, and Lucius his Brother; this latter was so facetious, that with his Discourse he so charm'd the Souldiers, sent to kill Mark Antony the Orator, that they put up their drawn Swords till Annius a Colonel fell on him, and brought his Head to Marius, which he joyfully receiv'd, set on his Table in a Feast, and stuck it afterwards on the Rostra. Cinnd in his Fourth Consulship was ston'd by his Souldiers at Ancona for his Cruelty. C. Julius Caesar married his Daughter Cornelia.
(d) Communicated the Glory of his Cimbrick Victory with Catulus.] In Venice near the Addis, Marius and Catulus fought, the Cimbrians took 60000. and slew about 120000. when his Colleague quitted the Honour of the day to him; so that two Triumphs were decreed him alone; he took in Catulus with him to partake of the Honour. Afterwards he fell out with him, and without hearkening to any Inter∣cessors, oblig'd him to dye, which he did, locking himself up into a Chamber, newly plaister'd over with green Lime, and so departed.
(e) To deface his six Consulships.] This was acted in his sixth Consulship; the following January he was chosen a seventh time Consul and soon dy'd.
