Life of Pompey

62.1

Plutarch

translated by Bernadotte Perrin

62A few days after this, Caesar entered and took possession of Rome. He treated everybody with kindness and calmed their fears, except that when Metellus, one of the tribunes, attempted to prevent him from taking money out of the public treasury, he threatened to kill him, and added to the threat a still harsher speech, namely, that it was easier for him to execute it than to utter it.81Cf. the Caesar, xxxv. 4.
