The Most Important Qualities Of Gnaeus

This is the divine and remarkable excellence of a general: Well? The other qualities, which a little while ago I began to recall, how great and how many there are! For in the supreme and perfect general, not only excellence in making war ought to be expected but many qualities are exceptional assistants and companions of this excellence. Firstly, of what outstanding integrity generals must be! Further, of what self moderation in all things! Of what faithfulness! Of what ease! Of what character! Of what empathy! Let us briefly consider of what kind these qualities are found in Gnaeus Pompeius;for all are at their greatest, true Romans, but they can be more easily recognised and appreciated in comparison with others than in and of
themselves.
