Letters to Lucilius
North African city where Cato made his final stand and died.
let the loyalty of the men of Utica too, broken by misfortunes, give way, and let the fortune of his name desert Scipio in Africa.
Ad Scapulam

For even that sun, in the assembly at Utica, with its light almost extinguished, was so much a portent that it could not have suffered this from an ordinary eclipse, being set in its exaltation and its house.
