But
formerly
likewise
few
had
conspired
against
the
republic
,
in
whom
it
was
Catalina
;
I
will
say
about
which
as
I
will
be
true
.
With the consuls Tullus and Lepidus , Autronius and Sulla , the designed consuls , having been inquired by law of going around , had given punishments . After by a small thing Catalina of demanding back money the defendant had not been able , prevented was seeking consulship , to confess within the lawful day . Piso by the same time , famous youth , of highest courage , wanting , the partisan , which need evil customs was spurring to confusing the republic . With this Catalina and Autronius , near the Nones of December with the consul having been communicated , were preparing in the Capitol by the first day of January Cotta and Torquatus to kill the consuls , himself with the burdens having been seized with the army to send Piso to possess the two Spain , with this matter having been understood , backward they had brought across on the Nones of February killing the plan . Now then not only for the consuls , for very many senators were devising the destruction . Because unless Catalina had been hastened on behalf of the court to give a signal to the allied , on that day after having been brought together the Roman city the worst crime was done . Because not yet the repeated having been armed had assembled , this matter separated the plan .
