Augustus, the first Roman emperor, was the named heir of Julius Caesar. After defeating Mark Anthony at the battle of Actium in 31 BC, he became sole ruler of the Roman world.
An old soldier was involved in a lawsuit that seemed likely to go against him. He therefore accosted his former commander, Augustus, in a public place, asking him to appear in court on his behalf. The emperor at once selected one of his suite to appear for the man and introduced him to the soldier. But the soldier, rolling back his sleeve to reveal his scars, shouted, "When you were in danger at Actium, I did not choose a substitute but fought for you in person." This persuaded Augustus to appear in court on the veteran's behalf.*
奧古斯都是羅馬帝國第一位皇帝,也是尤利烏斯.凱撒的指定繼承人,公元前三十一年,在亞克提姆戰役之中,擊敗馬克.安東尼,成為羅馬帝國唯一統治者。
有一個老兵,涉及訴訟,見案情似對他不利,就在一公眾場所,向其前指揮官奧古斯都求助,請他上法庭代為陳言。奧古斯都馬上挑選一名隨從,囑他為那老兵上庭,並介紹給那老兵相識。那老兵捲起衣袖,露出傷疤,高聲說:「當年亞克提姆一戰,陛下身處險境,我為陛下奮戰,可沒有挑人代勞。」奧古斯都於是親上法庭為那老兵陳詞。*
*老將傷疤,最能感動人君。唐太宗曾問勇將尉遲敬德:「人言卿反,何故?」尉遲敬德「解衣投於地,見所傷之處(當年征戰傷疤)」,太宗垂淚請他穿回衣服:「卿衣矣,朕以不疑卿,故此相告。」(《隋唐嘉話》卷中)
