The Woman of Andros And the Ides of March
“[The following letter, in the Dictator’s hand, accompanied a formal greeting on the Queen’s approach to Rome.] [September 3.] August Queen, it gives me no pleasure to add to this most sincere message of welcome the following injunctions: I must remind you that I place much importance on the conditions you agreed to when this visit to Rome was planned. I refer to the number of persons in your retinue, the regulations concerning the arboring of royal insignia, and to the requirement that there sh...all be no child under five years of age in your company. Should you fail to observe this agreement I shall be obliged to distress myself and to distress you by taking action derogatory to your dignity and inconsonant with the esteem I bear you. Should there be any children now in your company you will either leave them at Carthage or return them to Egypt.
Do not allow the severity of my words, however, to mislead you as to the great satisfaction with which I look forward to your stay in Rome.MoreLess
