Excellent quote today! 😊 Full of "old friends."

Clue 1: ask AI what, in Ancient Rome, is found on every Road leading out of the city. Clue 2: word 1: 3rd sing pres. act. subjunct ; Word 2; fem, nom. sing; Word 3: m/f dat sing; Word 4: f. nom. sing. Try it; more on end later😼 Sorry!🫠 I imagined your Latin included Roman Civilisation/History.

First answer my question. What do you find along Roman Roadsides leading out of town? That's a major context clue. Then come back and I'll give you another.

There are 3 sources for the quote oderint dum metuant. Accius, orig. Suetonius [Gaius 30], Life of Gaius, Seneca in ragedy Thyestes. my point is, for a Latin quote you must cite the exact sources to be fair. Have you figured out my Roadside Latin Emojigram yet?

@phyllida.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 7:58 PM

Too much! Mi stai prendendo in giro! You're giving me the runaround!😼
