Cum M.~Cicero consul Nonis Decembribus senatum in aede Iovis
Statoris consuleret, quid de iis coniurationis Catilinae sociis
fieri placeret, qui in custodiam traditi essent, factum est, ut
duae potissimum sententiae proponerentur, una D.~Silani consulis
designati, qui morte multandos illos censebat, altera C.~Caesaris,
qui illos publicatis bonis per municipia Italiae distribuendos
ac vinculis sempiternis tenendos existimabat.

\section{Introduction}
Video, patres conscripti, in me omnium vestrum ora atque oculos esse
conversos, video vos non solunn de vestro ac rei publicae, verum
etiam, si id depulsum sit, de meo periculo esse sollicitos. Est mihi
iucunda in malis et grata in dolore vestra erga me voluntas, sed eam,
per deos inmortales, deponite atque obliti salutis meae de vobis ac
de vestris liberis cogitate. Mihi si haec condicio consulatus data
est, ut omnis acerbitates, onunis dolores cruciatusque perferrem,
feram non solum fortiter, verum etiam lubenter, dum modo meis
laboribus vobis populoque Romano dignitas salusque pariatur.

\subsection{A subsection}
Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106--43 B.C. was a Roman statesman, orator,
and philosopher. A major figure in the last years of the Republic,
he is best known for his orations against Catiline\footnote{
This footnote should be very brief.}
and for his mastery of Latin prose \cite{Heritage:92}. He was a
contemporary of Julius Caesar (Fig.~\ref{fig1}).
\section{The argument}
Some words might be appropriate describing equation~(\ref{e1}), if
we had but time and space enough.
\begin{equation} \label{e1}
{{\partial F}\over {\partial t}} =
D{{\partial^2 F}\over {\partial x^2}}.
\end{equation}
See \cite{Abl:56}, \cite{AbTaRu:54}, \cite{Keo:58} and
\cite{Pow:85}.
This equation goes far beyond the celebrated theorem ascribed to the great
Pythagoras by his followers.
\begin{thm}
The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares
of the lengths of the other two sides.
\end{thm}
\section{Epilogue}
A word or two to conclude, and this even includes some inline
maths: $R(x,t)\sim t^{-\beta}g(x/t^\alpha)\exp(-|x|/t^\alpha)$.
