Anecdotes about King Romulus by J. Linderski

In the first book of his Annals, L. Piso Frugi wrote, "They say that the same Romulus, when he was invited to dinner, did not drink much because he had business on the following day. They [i.e., his dinner companions] tell him: if all men did this, Romulus, wine would be cheaper. He replied: No indeed! It would be dear if everyone drank as much as he wished; for I drank as much as I wished."
