Episode 9.3: Rēs Pūblica

 

Brūtus ad Recentiōs sē vertit. pūgiōnem adhūc tenēbat, et turba post eum lentē abībat. "vōs in illō cubiculō fuistis," inquit. "vōs vīdistis. ergō rogō vōs: quid putātis? quōmodo dēbēmus hanc rem pūblicam aedificāre?" nōn rogābat sine causā; verba vēra volēbat.

 

Octāviāna et Bellātor inter sē spectāvērunt. nōn idem putābant. Octāviāna dē lēgibus cōgitābat, dē fīnibus et fōrmā; Bellātor dē hominibus, dē cīvibus et ducibus.

 


 quid Recentiī Brūtō dīcunt?

 

Option A: Octāviāna respondet: "lēgēs sōlae cīvitātem servant: duo cōnsulēs, ūnus annus, lapis cīvitātī."

 

Option B: Bellātor respondet: "etiam populus vōcem habēre dēbet."

 

Option C: Bellātor respondet: "invenīte virōs bonōs, et eīs crēdite."
