I come to you today to offer my opinions on the proposal to adapt Caesar's Acta. As you may recall from my last speech, I was a master negotiator in Caesar's feud with Pompey. From our last meeting I was disheartened to hear the accusations that came across the floor from both sides. Is it true that many of you were bought by Caesar, or that you hid behind his toga when you were in trouble?!
On the other hand concerning the Acta, I want to remind you that it was Caesar that assigned Marcus Varro the duty to increase public participation in libraries. He wanted to build the temple of Mars and to build a theater of vast size. Caesar wanted the Roman empire to be extended by planning to wage war against Parthia. He corrected the calendar and he worked on many more projects.
Therefore, I would like to propose that we go through the Acta point by point, line by line and that we vote individually on each decree. The proposals that increase Rome's glory should be adopted, while those that set to increase selfish gain should be abolished.
Libo
