DE OMINIBVS

Ominum etiam obseruatio aliquo contactu religioni innexa est, quoniam non fortuito motu, sed diuina prouidentia constare creduntur. quae effecit ut urbe a Gallis disiecta, deliberantibus patribus conscriptis utrum Veios migrarent an sua moenia restituerent, forte eo tempore praesidio cohortibus redeuntibus centurio in comitio exclamaret 'signifer, statue signum, hic optime manebimus': ea enim uoce audita senatus accipere se omen respondit e uestigioque Veios transeundi consilium omisit. quam paucis uerbis de domicilio futuri summi imperii confirmata est condicio! credo indignum diis existimantibus prosperrimis auspiciis Romanum nomen ortum Veientanae urbis appellatione mutari inclitaeque uictoriae decus modo abiectae urbis ruinis infundi.
