Lingua Latina: Cap. IV Summary

Summary:
Iulius has a sack of money, and he starts off thinking that he has 100 coins. However, when Aemilia counts the coins in his bag, it is discovered that there are only 10 coins. When Davus is interrogated by Iulius, he claims that he does not know where the coins are and tells his master to ask Medus. Medus says that the coins are in Davus' bag, but when Iulius searches his bag, Davus is revealed to have been telling the truth, as he did not have any coins. However, when Medus sees this, he flees, as he is the thief of the coins and they are in his bag. When Iulius and Aemilia realize that Medus has departed, Iulius takes his stick and departs as well, trying to find his crooked slave as this chapter ends with a cliffhanger.
