A gruesome reminder!

The brilliance of the famous Roman orator, resulted in his head and right hand being cut off and nailed to the public rostrum from-which he had delivered his brilliant speeches.

After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony was was in control of Rome. Cicero was rash enough to to challenge and attack Anthony, his former friend.

He was declared and outlaw. When he tried to escape to Greece, he was captured and killed by the bounty hunters.

Cicero’s head and right hand were brought and displayed as gruesome relics-the head that spoke against and the hand that wrote against Mark Anthony!

So much for past friendship!
