Quam caeci vos estis, Romani! Sometimes my friends are sad because I am blind. But today I am happy, because I am not able to see this arrogant Greek in the Roman senate. Today my friends give me (cause for) sadness. How blind you are, Romans! (b) Dux Helvetiorum est perfidus, sed nostri duces capiunt bona consilia belli magnamque fortitudinem habent. Imperator Caesar habet multas legiones in hac regione, sed nostra legio est optima. The leader of the Helvetians is treacherous, but our leaders formulate good strategies of war and have great bravery. The general caesar has many legions in this dsitrict, but our legion is the best. (c) Quamquam Seleucus maximus vir, tamen erat territus. Ille fugit; se servare temptavit. Sine duce reliqui pugnaverunt male; brevissimo tempore vicimus eos facile. Ego eram potentior fortiorque quam socii; nam solus interfeci viginti piratas. Although Seleucus was a very large man, nevertheless he was frightened. That man fled; he tried to save himself. Without their leader the rest fought badly; in a very short time we defeated them easily. I was more powerful and braver than my companions; for I all by myself killed twenty pirates. 1.

Round down to the nearet half or whole. Sertorius, who was a brave Roman general, because there were powerful enemies in the city of Rome, fled to Spain. In that country he himself gave good laws to the people and very good schools to their children. The citizens of Spain used to wear Roman togas and the children used to learn the Latin language in the schools. After a short time Sertorius sought peace from the Romans, but all the Roman ambassadors arrogantly replied to him, Rome does not grant peave to treacherous men. Sertorius therefore began to prepare to engage battle in the forests of Spain against the Roman legions. Because that man (he) was a better general than the Roman leaders, defeated the enemy in very many battles. The Romans however did not recall that man (him) from exile. And so Sertorius remained very unhappily in Spain. The Romans searched for him through the cities, mountains and all areas of the country, but to no avail. One day a Spaniard gave a lucky deer to Sertorius. This gift was most pleasing to Sertorius. Sertorius showed it to his soldiers and said, While this deer, which Diana has given us, will be (is) safe, the same goddess will warn me about our dangers. After these words many (men) cried in a loud voice, Sertorius is our brother! Diana, the goddess of the forests, will give help to our brother. We shall very easily defeat the Romans! For a long time this lucky deer was helping Sertorius greatly. Finally however the deer wandered into the forest. No-one saw it thereafter. Finally the Romans after many battles drove Sertorius to Africa. A Roman Leader in Spain Sertorius, qui erat fortis Romanus dux, quod erant potentes inimici in urbe Roma, fugit ad Hispaniam. In ea terra ipse dedit bonas leges populo et optimas scholas liberis eorum. Cives Hispani gerebant Romanas togas et liberi discebant linguam Latinam in scholis. Post breve tempus Sertorius petivit pacem a Romanis, sed omnes Romani legati superbe responderunt ei, Roma non dat pacem perfidis viris. Sertorius igitur parabat committere proelium in silvis Hispaniae contra Romanas legiones. Ille, quod erat melior imperator quam Romani duces, superavit hostes plurimis proeliis. Romani autem non revocaverunt illum ab exilio. Itaque Sertorius mansit miserrimus in Hispania. Romani petiverunt eum per urbes, montes et omnes partes terrae, sed frustra. Olim Hispanus dedit felicem cervam Sertorio. Hoc donum erat gratissimum Sertorio. Sertorius monstravit id suis militibus et dixit, Dum haec cerva, quam Diana dedit nobis, erit tuta, eadem dea monebit me de nostris periculis. Post haec verba multi clamaverunt magna voce, Sertorius est noster frater! Diana, dea silvarum, dabit auxilium nostro fratri. Nos facillime superabimus Romanos! Diu haec felix cerva juvabat Sertorium magnopere. Denique autem cerva erravit in silvam. Nemo vidit eam postea. Tandem Romani post multa proelia egerunt Sertorium ad Africam. 2.
