[16] Cic. Phil. x. 17: legem comitiis centuriatis ex auctoritate nostra laturus est (Vibius Pansa).
[17] De Natura Deor. i. 3, written during the summer of 45.
[18] On Cicero’s use of Gloria see Pro Rabirio, 29-30; Pro Archia, 28; Pro Sestio, 47; Ad Att. ii, 5. Late in life Cicero wrote a treatise in two books on this subject.
[19] George Eliot used as a motto for her poem on this theme the very words of Cicero written when he proposed to erect the shrine to Tullia: longumque illud tempus cum non ero, Att. xii. 18.
[20] Warde Fowler, Religious Experience, 385, has seen the significance of this experience.
[21] He quotes it in the Tusculans, i, 68.
[22] Ad. Att. xii. 18; it is curious that in this very letter he still reverts when speaking of himself, to his old agnosticism in longum illud tempus cum non ero.
[23] Quoted by Lactantius, Inst. Div. i, 16.
[24] For Cicero’s attitude on Jus gentium, see De Off. iii. 17; i. 23.
