Nihil Sub Sole Novum

idk why it constantly blows my mind that caesar was around two thousand years ago like in my mind the fall of the roman republic happened literally last week 

i love cicero very dearly but i will never get over the fact that when he returned to rome from his exile he literally claims that, upon his arrival in the city, everyone started clapping for him

thinking about how the ancient romans never got to experience caffeine . sad

It would’ve made them all so much worse. but. they deserved it?

cicero having his first ever 300mg caffeine energy drink before giving a speech n throwing up

how much of cicero’s orations are just him going “I would of course not say it [proceeds to say it], nor would I dare mention [proceeds to mention], and of course it goes without saying no one needs to hear [makes sure everyone hears]”

you’re in her dms i’m in her extant lacunal lesbian poetry we are not the same
