Excerpt from Oeuvres Completes de Saint Augustin, Vol. 13: Oeuvres Polemiques: La Cite de Dieu, les Donatistes

Au rapport de Salluste, qui a la reputation d'un historien veridique, Cesar depeignait ainsi le sort reserve aux villes prises de vive force, quand il donna son avis dans le senat sur le sort des complices de Catilina: On ravit les vierges et les jeunes garcons; on arrache les enfants des bras de leurs parents; les meres de famille sont livrees aux outrages des vainqueurs on pille les temples et les maisons; partout le meurtre et l'incendie; tout est plein d'armes, de cadavres, de sang et de cris plaintifs Si Cesar n'eut point parle des temples, nous croirions que la coutume etait d'epargner les demeures des dieux; or, remarquez bien que les temples des Romains avaient a craindre ces profanations, non pas d'un peuple etranger, mais de Catilina et de ses complices, c'est - a-dire de citoyens romains et des senateurs les plus illustres; mais on dira peut - etre que c'etaient des hommes per dus et des parricides.
