I saw some curio urls around lately and I remembered I had these saved so I thought I should release them into the wild. They're free now if you want one.

hi, i was wondering where you got your little Cicero bust, if you don't mind the question?

[e-pistulae]

Welcome to 58 BCE

Does it count as bringing Cicero back from the dead if he considers exile a living death?

if you missed e-pistulae last time: cicero is back 🫵 he is being exiled NOW 🫵 you will hear from him soon 🫵

e-pistulae is like dracula daily but for the letters of marcus tullius cicero. i am translating them from latin myself. this time it is the letters from the period of his exile. he's having possibly the worst time ever, and you Will be hearing about it. quit your job subscribe to my emo substack!!!
