Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 10.5 §3 buy that lodging from Canuleius for fifty thousand sesterces
The sesterce was the standard Roman unit of account; fifty thousand was a modest price for a wayside lodging (deversorium) used to break a journey. Cicero kept a chain of such stopping-places along his usual routes.
