Valerius Maximus, Memorable Deeds And Sayings, 6.1.10

nan And what wonder if all the conscript fathers made this decree? C. Pescennius, triumvir for capital punishments, publicly imprisoned C. Cornelius, a most noted soldier, who had been four times advanced to be a centurion of the first rank; because he had had intimate familiarity with a youth born of free parents. Cornelius appealed against this to the tribunes; but when he said nothing about the facts, but only said that he was ready to put in bail, and to allege that the boy had openly made a public prostitution of his body for money, they absolutely refused to pay any attention to the matter. As a result Cornelius died in prison. For the tribunes thought it improper for our commonwealth to make bargains with men, however brave, so that they could buy domestic pleasure at the price of danger abroad.
