Aratus was a pretty cool guy that I'd never heard of before. Very 'Sic semper tyrannis'. He'd have made a good Virginian.

Can't get over the fact that Cicero means 'chickpea' (this version says 'vetch') because he had an ancestor who had a round indented nose tip like a chickpea. This is why we read these great books.
