i forget that antony threatened to knock cicero's house down. literally big bad wolf behavior rome was unbelievable anyway GO OFF MARCE TULLI!!! I CAN FORESEE NO NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS!!!

unrelatedly to consequences. "but in order, if anything that may befall humanity had happened to me - and much seems to be impending even beyond the course of nature and that of destiny" god... we GOTTA get him out of there

i love when i kind of have no idea what he's talking about. did piso speak out against antony? are we on his team? didn't he piss cicero off previously or am i thinking of an entirely different guy (i'm willing to believe this. lots of names in the cicero burn book)

"For what can be more disgraceful than that a man who has by violence committed treason against the Roman people, and been convicted, should then resort to that very violence for which he was by law convicted?" and i feel the ghost of clodius pulcher in this chili's tonight

"For myself, if I say anything insulting against his life or his character, I will not object to his becoming my most bitter enemy;" BABYGIRL. DO NOT SAY THAT. "oooo i've never noted anything sordid in you" i love when he literally just lies
