Rivals dispute over Rome and Camillus in a heated letter
The writer defends his critique against a craftsman and another author, denying charges of impiety and scurrility while arguing about Livy Plutarch and Vertot on the fall of Rome. He insists on reason over authority, cites Camillus's banishment and plebeian power, and mocks a rival for plagiarism as the exchange closes with a vow to restrain further public rebukes.
