Great to see you back, Minervina. You won't be removed from the membership roster.

Where are you located now?

Tergestus

I speak Spanish. I had not hitherto volunteered to be a praeceptor because I expect to be taking a new job soon and I was not sure how much time I will have available. But I would be glad to help with any new, Spanish-speaking members....

According to Lacus Curtius, this inscription appeared at Ostia, the Port of Rome. Here is a hotlink to the LC epigraphy page. Just search in the page under Glabrio to find it.

I always thought that Julius Caesar's last words were

"Et tu Brute?"
Where "et" has the force of "even". This usage also appears famously in the passage from Vergil

"Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes".

Here's another philosophical quote:

TEMPUS EDAX RERUM
Time, the devourer of all things.

(Ovid)

Maybe I should change Callidus' name to "Montoya".
