were found guilty had, in addition, to pay a fine, or were otherwise
punished. A person who stood accused of extortion was not allowed to
come forward as a candidate for any other office before he was tried

office.
[107] These are the consuls of the year B. C. 65, who had obtained

[108] _Hispanias_. Ancient Spain was, for administrative purposes,
divided into two provinces--_Hispania Tarraconensis_, or _provincia
citerior_, with Tarraco (the modern Tarragona) for its capital; and
_Hispania Baetica_, or _ulterior_, deriving its name from the river
Baitis (the modern Guadalquiver). Its chief towns were Corduba and
Hispalis (now Seville).

19. Postea Piso in citeriorem Hispaniam quaestor pro praetore[110] missus
est, adnitente Crasso, quod eum infestum inimicum Gn. Pompeio cognoverat.
Neque tamen senatus provinciam invitus dederat; quippe foedum hominem a
re publica procul esse volebat; simul quia boni complures praesidium in
eo putabant, et jam tum potentia Pompeii formidolosa erat. Sed is Piso in
provincia ab equitibus Hispanis, quos in exercitu ductabat, iter faciens

crudelia barbaros nequivisse pati; alii autem equites illos Gn. Pompeii
veteres fidosque clientes voluntate ejus Pisonem aggressos; numquam
Hispanos praeterea tale facinus fecisse, sed imperia saeva multa ante
perpessos. Nos eam rem in medio relinquemus. De superiore conjuratione
satis dictum.
