"the talk of someone invoking ruination and the 'final destruction' [of someone]."He says the original is Greek: Ἅιδου πρωκτῷ περιπέσοις, which, if you know the word proctologist in English, you can see is quite similar to the Latin! 2/2

someone is such a scoundrel that you aren't satisfied with the better known, "I in malam crucem!," consider "In culum Orci incidas!" This locution is found in Erasmus's Adagia. He describes it as, "Sermo perniciem et extremum exitium imprecantis," which means, 1/2

From "In Verrem," a series a speeches Cicero made in the corruption and extortion trial of Gaius Verres, former Roman governor of Sicily. Cicero's speeches so thoroughly damned Verres that he was urged to do the Roman version of pleading "no contest" to the charges and go into voluntary exile.

The print is Parisian and by Jacques Louis Copia. Date: 1789-1799.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

#MosaicMonday - From a Roman villa in Trinquetaille (Arles) comes this mosaic of the myth of the abduction of Europa: ca. Late 2nd-Early 3rd Century AD. I love the polychrome mantle which gives the scene an almost rainbow effect. #Myth #Archaeology 🏺
