Please write on ALTERNATE LINES. QUESTION 1 In this anecdote from his 'De Oratore' Cicero tells of the reaction of Hannibal, the Carthaginian general and military genius, after he had listened to a rather long speech by a philosopher, Phormio, about leadership and the duties of a general. cum Hannibal Karthagine expulsus Ephesum ad Antiochum venisset, ab hospitibus suis invitatus est, ut Phormionem philosophum, si vellet, audiret; cumque is se non nolle dixisset, dicitur homo multas horas de imperatoris officio et de omni re militari locutus esse. tum, cum ceteri, qui illum audierant, vehementer essent delectati, quaerebant ab Hannibale, quid ipse de illo philosopho arbitraretur; Poenus respondisse dicitur, multos se deliros senes saepe vidisse, sed qui magis quam Phormio deliraret vidisse neminem. And not without reason, by Hercules! quid enim aut arrogantius fieri potuit quam Hannibali, qui tot annos de imperio cum populo Romano omnium gentium victore certavisset, Graecum hominem, qui numquam hostem, numquam castra vidisset, numquam denique minimam partem ullius publici muneris attigisset, praecepta de re militari dare?

Pliny supplied not only the list but a detailed biographical sketch. In this extract he describes the working habits of his uncle. Ante lucem ibat ad Vespasianum imperatorem (nam ille quoque noctibus utebatur), deinde ad officium sibi delegatum. reversus domum reliquum tempus studiis dabat. saepe post cibum aestate si quid otii, iacebat in sole, liber legebatur, adnotabat excerpebatque; dicere etiam solebat nullum librum esse tam malum ut non aliqua parte prodesset. post solem plerumque aqua frigida lavabatur, deinde gustabat dormiebatque minimum; haec inter medios labores urbisque fremitum. in secessu solum balinei tempus studiis eximebatur; in itinere quasi solutus ceteris curis, huic uni vacabat: ad latus notarius cum libro et pugillaribus, cuius manus hieme manicis muniebantur, ut ne caeli quidem asperitas ullum studii tempus eriperet … Pliny: III.V (adapted) Vespasianus –I (m): Vespasian.
