ISTR an urban legend about a hoax that was perpetrated
with a terracotta pot, that had the inscription ...
ITI SAPIS SPOTANDA BIGO NE
... "It is a piss pot and a big one"
Those who learnt Latin at school (De Bello Gallica IV
and Virgil's Aeneid, "Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes")
will remember also ...
Caesar adsum jam forte
Brutus aderat
Caesar sic in omnibus
Brutus sic in 'at.
Se vili derdego
Fortibus es in arro
Dem nobus es demare trux
Vatis inem cousan dux.
