Reading No.17
The radio has brought the great events of the world into our own parlors. Ringside and
battlefront broadcasts keep us up with the news as it happens. Let us imagine that we are
ancient Romans, seated in our home at Rome and listening to a broadcast direct from a winter
quarters of Caesars army in Gaul.
Your announcer is Quintus Titurius Mucius, with the Second Legion in their Belgian winter
quarters. Your friends here have been enjoying a very quiet winter. The Belgians (clamores subito1 per
radiophoniam2 a nobis audiuntur) . . . (Excitedly) Friends, this is it . . . Hostes appropinquant. Hibernis
hostium et nostrorum. Principes et duces, viri fortes, etiam cum eis appropinquant. Etiam
Regem eorum video! Custodes nostros statim gladiis occidunt et eos qui in muro sunt telis
(Voces
Equites per portas celeriter mittuntur. Acriter cum Gallis pugnant! . . . (Magnus clamor subito1
auditur.) Rex . . . Rex hostium telis occisus est! Nunc hostes pelluntur! Cedunt! Silvas petunt!
Sed legatus noster, vir bonus et fortis, equites nunc mittit qui eos omnes occidant. Friends, its all
over and may that be a lesson to them. Fortuna legiones Romanas semper adjuvat.
