91.11 At Pharsalus In 48 B.C. Pompey gave the word for his regiments after they had formed for battle to stand in their tracks and meet the onset of the enemy. In this Caesar said that he made a mistake, inasmuch as he lost the effect on his soldiers of the intensity and excitement which comes from rushing to the onset with enthusiasm. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. xliv. (729 B); Life of Pompey, chap. lxix. (656 C); Caesar, Civil War, iii. 92. Appian (The Civil Wars, ii. 79) says that this statement was found in Caesar’s letters.
91.12 After he had conquered Pharnaces of Pontus by a swift drive against him, he wrote to his friends, I came, saw, conquered. In 47 B.C. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. 1. (731 F); Appian, The Civil Wars, ii. 91; Dio Cassius, xlii. 48. According to Suetonius, Divus Iulius, 37, these words (veni, vidi, vici) were borne aloft in Caesar’s triumph.
91.13 Following upon the flight of Scipio and his followers in Africa Cato took his own life; whereat Caesar said, I begrudge you your death, Cato, for you begrudged me the saving of your life. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. liv. (733 B); Life of Cato Minor, chap. lxxii. (794 C); Appian, The Civil Wars, ii. 99; Dio Cassius, xlii. 12.
91.14 Some looked with suspicion upon Antony and Dolabella and urged Caesar to be on his guard, but he said that he did not fear these fat and sleek tradesmen and craftsmen but those lean and pale fellows, indicating Brutus and Cassius. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. lxii. (737 C); Life of Antony, chap. xii. (921 B); Life of Brutus, chap. viii. (987 C). Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, i. 2: Let me have men about me that are fat: Sleek-headed men and such as sleep o’ nights: Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. seems to incorporate all the terms used in the Lives, but to ignore βαναύσους in this passage.
