The Senate Session is once again called to Order. This time a decision has being made a decision that would change the course of Cicero's life in the future. As the day progresses it becomes clear that the death of Crassus has spurred the Senate into action someone is to die this day it is just a question of whom. The debate rages on with many candidates being put up to the Senate including one brave or some would say suicidal Senator votes for themself. However when the sun begins its downward way towards the horizen one candidate is clearly in front. Various Senators give reason that range from past indiscretions and that he was a young man and thus the type who would follow Catiline. Other Senators defended his indiscretions saying that it was the foley of youth and that he was no traitor. Once the debate petered out Cicero gets up to speak.
Publius Clodius Pulcher you are hearby sentenced by the Senate to death for treasonous acts againest the Republic of Rome you are to be taken to the Tullianum Prison where you are to be strangled untill you are dead. You will be morned by no man of Rome the only person to morn your lose will be your wife, I do mean your sister I am sorry I do not know why I keep making that mistake. You are guilty of far more crimes than that of treason you broke into my own house and defiled the sacred act of Bona Dea. You who dressed as a woman you who took the toga of a man and turned it into the outfit of a whore. You are a disgrace to Rome. My fellow Senators it is not so strange that he thinks us rustic, who are unable to provide ourselves with a tunic with sleeves, and a mitre, and purple bands. But you Pulcher are a most witty man; you are really elegant; you are the only well-bred man, who look well in woman’s clothes, and with the gait of a singing woman; who know how to make your countenance look like that of a woman; to soften down your voice, and to make your body smooth. O extraordinary prodigy! O you monster! are you not ashamed at the sight of this temple, and of this city, nor of your life, nor of the light of day? Do you, who were clad in woman’s attire, dare to assume a manly voice,—you, whose infamous lust and adultery, united with impiety, was not delayed even by the time required to suborn witnesses to procure your acquittal? Did you, when your feet were being bound with bandages, when an Egyptian turban and veil were being fitted on your head, when you were with difficulty trying to get down the sleeved tunic over your arms, when you were being girdled carefully with a sash,—did you never in all that time recollect that you were the grandson of Appius Claudius? Did you not, even if lust had utterly deprived you of all common sense what a unroman sight you were. what shame you brought to your family! Do you Pulcher have anything to say in your defence.
With this Pulcher stands to give the last words of his life. He knows that regardless of what he says there will be only one outcome so before he dies this controversial man has but one more controversy to bring up. He looks over at Caesar and says quite simply
My good friend Caesar your wife was most excellent infact all the wives of all the senate are fine Women indeed. I have done many things in my life but there is one thing that I would never do and that is betray the Republic. I only have the wants of the common man in my heart and that is what I fought for in my life. I am dissapointed in the Senate. I bid you farewell I shall see you all soon for I suspect many of you will be joining me before too long. With this he snaps at the guards to take him away to his death. A stunned silence spreads throughout the hall with all the men of the Senate looking at Caesar he stares straight forward looking at no man then suddenly stands up and strides outside the Hall. With this the second meeting of the Senate is over who will live to see it's third?
