Reading notes
- On the Ends of Good and Evil §5.62 Pullus Numitorius of Fregellae, the traitor
Numitorius Pullus betrayed his native town of Fregellae to Rome during its revolt of 125 BC. Cicero cites the universal hatred felt for him, despite his service to Rome, as evidence of innate moral sense.
