succlāmō (present infinitive succlāmāre, perfect active succlāmāvī, supine succlāmātum); first conjugation

  1. to shout or exclaim in response to or after any thing
    • Velleius Paterculus, Historia Romana 2.32:
      Digna est memoriā Q. Catulī cum auctōritās tum verēcundia. quī, cum dissuādēns lēgem in cōntiōne dīxisset esse quidem praeclārum virum Cn. Pompeium, sed nimium jam līberae rei pūblicae neque omnia in ūnō repōnenda adjēcissetque: "sī quid huic acciderit, quem in eius locum substituētis?", succlāmāvit ūniversa cōntiō: "tē, Q. Catule." tum ille victus consensū omnium et tam honōrificō cīvitātis testimōniō ē cōntiōne discessit.
      Both the leadership as well as the humility of Quintus Catulus are worthy of memory. When he had expressed his views and opposed the law in an assembly, he remarked that Gnaeus Pompey was indeed agreat man, but that he was now too much so for a free republic and that all authority ought not to be granted to one man; and he added, "If something happens to him, whom would you put in his place?" The entire assembly then shouted, "You, Quintus Catulus!" Then, overwhelmed by the universal consensus, and by such an honorable tribute on the part of the citizens, he left the meeting.
