I am already at chapter four of Imperium by Robert Harris and I just gotta say,it was slightly satisfying to read about how Cicero tried to hold a speech but the others,the Konsuls,kept on interrupting him until the end of the meeting
you guys don't know how many times I had wished for Cicero to shut up during latin homework,cursing him for being a speaker and talking for so long with complicated sentences.
#“shut uuuuup no one careeeeeees”#<-me during latin homework#I could barely grasp the concept of Nebensatz and this fucker put 50 of them in one sentence#but not one after the other nonononono no one in each other like the most annoying matroshka dolls#so that scene#as heroic as he is being portrait in the book#as much as you should feel sympathy for Sthenius#man was it satisfying for him to taste his own medicine#even if it is in a semi fictional book#and thousands of years after his death#I don't care he gave me more headaches than he ever did to any Konsul or other politician at the time#I do not care that Cicero was my Latin teachers Oshi#latin man#the trauma#lingua latina#latin class#not very dark academia of me#godoframbles#book#bookblr#cicero#book review#rome#ancient rome
