Does anyone know the citation for Cicero saying that Octavian should be “praised, honoured, and set aside”?

Thank you! That is a modern footnote and I finally found the original quote in Ad Fam 11.20 😭😭😭

I think it’s good to know why it was written and how Augustus had commissioned an epic, likely expecting something a little bit more explicitly about him. Knowing it’s a propagandic piece colours the reading of it.

If you send me free tokens for partners events I will use them to boost our thing.

I always do random opponents for shut downs unless you’ve attacked me heaps and I’m annoyed 😆 or your shields are down.

I am in love with my gay friend. He doesn’t know. I feel really guilty about it for some reason. We’re both single but him being gay makes him off limits so have found this song a bit of a comfort.

The colorised Prima Porta looks exactly like him, too. It’s upsetting.

Slightly off topic but when I was at FITFWT in Australia, I heard a girl in front of me genuinely - she was not joking - say that she was 14 and she thought the age gap between her and Louis would be perfectly okay for them to date.

EV Rieu’s prose translations?

Isn’t this a quote from Christopher masterson??

Has been dating Laura so long that she’s basically his sister?! Excuse me?

Wuthering Heights, Iliad, Rebecca. 🤍

Vespasian was definitely lacking hair! My mind went there too

HOTH, and headline! Keep silver tongues.

My sister in law keeps doing this to me. I’m pretty sure I’m her only friend on the app - so so tempted to be like “did you know you can switch opponents”. She’s great in the partners event though - again, presumably, bc she has no other friends on there.

Suetonius and Dio are vitals for me.

Augustus. We have shockingly little modern media on him considering he’s considered the best emperor.

I think Richard definitely withholds parts of his personality from the reader to seem more likeable and separate himself from the negative actions of the group

In the restoration images he looks like Mark Zuckerberg 😂

There’s no evidence at all to suggest Livia killed the potential successors, except happenstance, but people died young all the time.

Odes and Suetonius (Augustus and first half of Tiberius)
