A soldier goes into a dark room at Minturnae to cut the throat of the fugitive hiding there, and comes out at a run, sword left behind, having heard a voice from the shadows ask whether he dares to kill Gaius Marius. Plutarch keeps that story because it is the man entire.

I came, saw, and conquered
