I'dont know if it's true or not but during my history lessons in Malta I learnt that Verre had drapery factories in Malta and altough he never came to the island he stole from it's temples and many jars of honey for which the island was famous. This was part of Cicero's prosecution against him. Can someone clarify it? 195.158.119.145 16:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I didn't see it in either of the Verrine Orations, but I wouldn't have put it past him either. From what I know, though, he doesn't seem to have had any connection with Malta. Pat Payne 22:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't mean any offense to the original author of this article, but much of the information within it is erroneous. Not to say that whoever wrote this doesn't have a basic grasp of the historical accounts of Verres' life, but there are many small errors. If I have time in the near fture, I will try to repair this. ---- Wow, on a second readthrough, this article is very badly written and contains many factual errors and unsubsantiated assumptions. I will priotize fixing this as soon as possible. 70.24.2.159 00:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
