During the Third Punic War between Rome and Carthage, Cato the Elder (pictured above) would end his speeches -- no matter if the speech was on Carthage, tax policy, or the latest play -- with the phrase: Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam. That would be Latin for: Moreover, I advise that Carthage must be destroyed.
That has been shortened up over time to Carthago delanda est (Carthage must be destroyed).
Where am I going with this?
Where am I going with this?
From now until Opening Day, the last post of a session or a day -- no matter what the topic of the post -- on Rattler Radio will have a similar ending to Cato the Elder's speeches.
110 dies insquequo Oris Dies*
110 days until Opening Day!
