#ngl this is the first time ive really thought abt crassus' mention in purgatorio and i feel SO unwell about it like oh my god#and in purgatorio!!!! wow! but also this line is so invasive and violent (kind of sexy for that ngl)#esp when you consider that (we are getting away from the themes dante has established so if any of you reblog this and dunk on dante#i will banish you to the shadow realm im not joking)#lucullus is one of the two charged with crassus' narrative doom because it's lucullus' displays of wealth that tempt crassus#screaming screaming screaming. what DOES gold taste like! what flavor did it have on your tongue!#comparatives tag#marcus licinius crassus
