The Romans sat down before the city, built and trenched a camp, and sending to Rome for Julius Caesar, Cicero and others, awaited the starvation of the enemy. But this did not occur; the Faesulans had stout hearts, the Romans wearied, many returned to Rome, and of these Cicero may well have been one. The noble Fiorino and his company remained. That entrenched camp which he had made became old, square Florence; and if he himself did not give name to the city, flowers of some sort did.

Therefore, when it came to giving a local name to this new Rome, no better occurred to Caesar than Fiorenze, which is, as we should say, "Fiorino's place." So...
