[per-duellum, i. e. bellum], a public enemy, an enemy actually waging war against a country (mostly anteclass. for the class. hostis):

quos nos hostes appellamus, eos veteres perduelles appellabant, per eam adjectionem indicantes, cum quibus bellum esset,

Transf., a private enemy, an enemy, = inimicus (Plautin.), Plaut. Ps. 2, 1, 8; cf. id. ib. 15.— Perduellis seems never to mean traitor to one's country (cf. perduellio); in this sense parricida is used instead.

quippe celebratam Macedonum fortitudinem ad ludibrium reccidisse verebatur,

Curt. 9, 7, 23:

Nep. Alcib. 7, 1.—So freq. of an evil, to fall back, recoil upon any one, esp. upon the author of it: omnes in te istaec recident contumeliae, * Plaut. Men. 3, 2, 54:

ut hujus amentiae poena in ipsum familiamque ejus recidat,

Cic. Phil. 4, 4, 10:

suspicionem in vosmet ipsos recidere,

id. Rosc. Am. 29, 79: hunc casum ad ipsos recidere posse demonstrant, * Caes. B. G. 7, 1:
