good news my word programm decided to stop fuckin around so i might actually be able to continue this whole roman dictionary thing now

i got a book from the perspective of Marcus Caelius but so far all i did with it was find a few grammar errors and fail to concentrate over my grandparents talking loudly and that’s probably a good metaphor for how my life’s going right now

iste/ista/istud is just ille/illa/illud (derogatory)

I‘m having my latin exam in five days and I keep forgetting about it so every other hour I‘ll be like !!!!OH SHIT!!!?? anYWay

King Richard ||| quotes as roman people:

Caesar, with his ego in the clouds: What, do you tremble? Are you all afraid? Alas, I blame you not, for you are mortal […]

Catilina, up in the senate like: We speak no treason, man.

Catullus, crying about Lesbia like: […] I cannot prove a lover to entertain these fair well-spoken days

Cato, at anyone who doesn‘t fit his idealistic belief of right and wrong: Hie thee to hell for shame, and leave this world, thou cacodemon. There thy kingdom is.

Cicero, being petty as always: Long die thy happy days before thy death […]
