also for everyone asking where the daggers option is. i know the ides of march are a big thing on tumblr but i need you to know theres an entire republic of fucked up little senatorial assholes out there and caesar is honestly not the most exciting. hes not the sluttiest. hes not the baldest. hes not the war criminaliest or even the most interestingly assassinated. hes not the cuntiest in the first triumvirate let alone in the whole republic. there are so many to choose from. be free.

incredibly funny sophocles fragment from an unknown play where odysseus goes "diomedes why would i insult you and say things like 'you're not even from argos' or 'your father's a murderer' or 'your father's a cannibal' that would be so mean of me" i would give the world to hear diomedes' response to this

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick

funny that marius and sulla had all that fucked up sexy history where their first joint success is already haunted by the future civil war situation and then their names get linked forever Because of the civil war even though they never quite fight one another During the civil war and then marius explodes and dies in a consulship explosion when sulla isn't even there but sulla is so weird about it that he digs up his corpse and then also cinna is just. there
