Camillus, however, whether puffed up with the greatness of his achievement in conquering a city that was the rival of Rome, and had held out a ten years' siege, or exalted with the felicitations of those that were about him, assumed to himself more than became a civil and legal magistrate; among other things, in the pride and haughtiness of his triumph, driving through Rome in a chariot drawn with four white horses, which no general either before or since ever did; for the Romans consider such a mode of conveyance to be sacred, and specially set apart to the king and father of the gods. This alienated the hearts of his fellow-citizens, who were not accustomed to such pomp and display.

白话
卡米卢斯征服了与罗马匹敌、坚守十年的城市后,或许因功业自傲,或许因周围人吹捧而飘飘然,做出了超出民选长官本分的举动。最突出的是,他凯旋时乘坐四匹白马拉的战车穿过罗马,此前此后都没有将领这样做,因为罗马人认为这种车驾是神圣的,专属于众神之王。这使习惯朴素作风的同胞心生疏远。核心教训是:功劳再大,也不能逾越共同体的象征边界;炫耀性特权会消耗政治信任。
