Letter 22
Marcus Cornelius Fronto→Marcus Aurelius|c. 147 AD|Marcus Cornelius Fronto|AI-assisted
145–147 A.D. To my Lord. I have slept late. I have sent you a theme: the case is a serious one. A consul of the Roman people, laying aside his robes, has donned a coat of mail and among the young men at the feast of Minerva has slain a lion in the sight of the Roman people. He is denounced before the Censors. Put into shape and develop. Farewell, most sweet Lord. Greet your Lady.
