"Regis ad Exemplum totus componitur Orbis"

This hexameter verse, which occurs in collections of Latin apophthegms, is not to be found in this form, in any classical author. It has been converted into a single proverbial verse, from the following passage of Claudian: "Componitur orbis Regis ad exemplum: nec sic inflictere sensus Humanos edicta valent, ut vita regentis." *De IV. Consul. Honor*., 299.
