assuum undique patent. Per eas pedestris via est gravis et in nave viatores vehuntur. Itaque [15]equis relictis Lentulus et Publius navem conscenderunt, et, una nocte in transitu consumpta, Forum Appi venerunt. Tum brevi tempore Aricia eos excepit. Hoc oppidum, in colle situm, ab urbe Roma sedecim milia passuum abest. Inde declivis via usque ad latum campum ducit ubi Roma stat. Quem ad locum ubi Publius venit et Romam adhuc remotam, maximam totius orbis terrarum urbem, conspexit, summa admiratione et gaudio adfectus est. Sine mora descenderunt, et, medio intervallo quam celerrime superato, urbem porta Capena ingressi sunt. [Footnote 1: /quindecim\, etc., cf. p. 210, l. 5, and note.] [Footnote 2: /primis ... confectis\, abl. abs. Cf. Sec. 501.28.] [Footnote 3: /patri\, dat. with /persuasit\.] [Footnote 4: /omnibus ... comparatis\, cf. note 2.] [Footnote 5: /vecti\, perf. pass. part. of /veho\.] [Footnote 6: What is there peculiar about the gender of this word?] [Footnote 7: /Nolae\, locative case, Sec. 501.36.2.] [Footnote 8: /via\, cf. /porta\, p. 208, l. 7, and note.] [Footnote 9: What construction?] [Footnote 10: /Eo\, adv. _there_.] [Footnote 11: /Postridie eius diei\, _on the next day_.] [Footnote 12: /viam Appiam\, the most famous of all Roman roads, the great highway from Rome to Tarentum and Brundisium, with numerous branches. Locate on the map the various towns that are mentioned in the lines that follow.] [Footnote 13: /Formias\, _Formiae_, one of the most beautiful spots on this coast, and a favorite site for the villas of rich Romans.] [Footnote 14: /itinere ... facto\, abl. abs. The gen. /milium\ modifies /itinere\.] [Footnote 15: /equis relictis\. What construction? Point out a similar one in the next line.] [Illustration: BULLA] LXVIII. PUBLIUS PUTS ON THE TOGA VIRILIS Publius iam totum annum Romae morabatur[1] multaque urbis spectacula viderat et multos sibi[2] amicos paraverat. Ei[3] omnes favebant; [4]de eo omnes bene sperare poterant. Cotidie Publius scholas philosophorum et grammaticorum tanto studio frequentabat [5]ut aliis clarum exemplum praeberet. Saepe erat cum patre in curia[6]; quae res effecit [7]ut summos rei publicae viros et audiret et videret. Ubi [8]sedecim annos natus est, bullam[9] auream et togam praetextam more Romano deposuit atque virilem togam sumpsit. Viri
