“Ego, sī hoc optimum factū iūdicārem, Patrēs Cōnscrīptī, Catilīnam morte multārī, ūnīus ūsūram hōrae gladiātōrī istī ad vīvendum nōn dedissem.”
If I judged that it was the best course of action, Conscript Fathers, to punish Catiline with death, I would not have granted to that gladiator of yours a single hour of life. (Cicero’s provocative implication: like an audience viewing a gladiatorial combat, the Roman senators have done nothing to stop Catiline, despite their awareness of his violent threats and actions.)
