The year after the trial of Verres was that of Cicero's ?dileship. We know but little of him in the performance of the duties of this office, but we may gather that he performed them to the satisfaction of the people. He did not spend much money for their amusements, although it was the custom of ?diles to ruin themselves in seeking popularity after this fashion; and yet when, two years afterward¹, he solicited² the Pr?torship from the people, he was three times elected as first Pr?tor in all the comitia—three separate elections having been rendered necessary by certain irregularities and factious³ difficulties. To all the offices, one after another, he was elected in his first year—the first year possible in accordance with his age—and was elected first in honor, the first as Pr?tor, and then the first as Consul⁴. This, no doubt, was partly due to his compliance⁵ with those rules for canvassing⁶ which his brother Quintus is said to have drawn⁸ out, and which I have quoted; but it proves also the trust which was felt in him by the people. The candidates, for the most part, were the candidates for the aristocracy. They were put forward with the idea that thus might the aristocratic rule of Rome be best maintained. Their elections were carried on by bribery¹⁰, and the people were for the most part indifferent to the proceeding¹¹. Whether it might be a Verres, or an Antony, or a Hortensius, they took the money that was going. They allowed themselves to be delighted with the games, and they did as they were bid. But every now and then there came up a name which stirred them, 163and they went to the voting pens—ovilia—with a purpose of their own. When such a candidate came forward, he was sure to be first. Such had been Marius, and such had been the great Pompey, and such was Cicero. The two former were men successful in war, who gained the voices of the people by their victories. Cicero gained them by what he did inside the city. He could afford not to run into debt and ruin himself during his ?dileship, as had been common with ?diles, because he was able to achieve his popularity in another way. It was the chief duty of the ?diles to look after the town generally—to see to the temples of the gods, to take care that houses did not tumble down, to look to the
