Opening Statements
Marcus Tullius Cicero106-43 BC
This is an outrage.To manipulate the census for political gain is a dagger aimed at the heart of our Republic.Just as Catiline sought to subvert the Senate, these actions threaten the very foundation of fair representation and civic virtue.We must resist such insidious attempts to corrupt our sacred institutions.

Julius Caesar100-44 BC
Such machinations against a fair census are intolerable. To tamper with the count is to undermine the very foundation of representation. Rome's strength lay in its accurate accounting of citizens. Let not petty legal contests distort the will of the people for a decade hence, lest discord reign.
