It's all Greek to me.
Πόσο ακόμα αυτός ο λυσσαλέος σου ορμητισμός θα μας κοροϊδεύει; Μέχρι ποίου σημείου θα επιδεινώσει την αχαλίνωτη έπαρσή της;
Δεν σε συγκίνησαν καθόλου η νυχτερινή φρουρά του Παλατίου, οι νυχτερινές περιπολίες της πόλης, ο φόβος του λαού, οι συναθροίσεις όλων των καλών πολιτών, αυτός εδώ ο πολύ καλά φρουρούμενος τόπος όπου συνεδριάζει η Σύγκλητος, τα πρόσωπα και τα βλέμματα αυτών των ανθρώπων; Δεν αισθάνεσαι ότι τα σχέδιά σου είναι εκτεθειμένα, δεν βλέπεις ότι η συνωμοσία σου πλέον κρατιέται δεμένη από τη γνώση όλων αυτών; Τι πιστεύεις ότι δεν ξέρουμε για όσα έκανες τη νύχτα που πέρασε ή την προηγούμενη, πού ήσουν, ποιους συγκάλεσες, τι σχέδιο πήρες, ποιον από εμάς νομίζεις ότι αγνοεί;

Quam diū etiam furor iste tuus nōs ēlūdet? Quem ad fīnem sēsē effrēnāta iactābit audācia?
Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis vigiliae, nihil timor populi, nihil concursus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi senatus locus, nihil horum ora voltusque moverunt? Patere tua consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horum omnium scientia teneri coniurationem tuam non vides? Quid proxima, quid superiore nocte egeris, ubi fueris, quos convocaveris, quid consilii ceperis, quem nostrum ignorare arbitraris?
O tempora, o mores! Senatus haec intellegit. Consul videt; hic tamen vivit. Vivit? immo vero etiam in senatum venit, fit publici consilii particeps, notat et designat oculis ad caedem unum quemque nostrum. Nos autem fortes viri satis facere rei publicae videmur, si istius furorem ac tela vitemus. Ad mortem te, Catilina, duci iussu consulis iam pridem oportebat, in te conferri pestem, quam tu in nos [omnes iam diu] machinaris.

If I remember correctly, from previous posts, he had a PA background too.
Good memory.
He was from Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Mom was from Neaquehoning PA. That photo of them was taken at her family's home there.

#OTD in 1942, USS Nautilus (SS-168) conducted an unusual mission by rescuing a group of refugees in the Solomons that included fourteen nuns in white habits who had evaded the Japanese for nine months. The nuns spent three days on the sub and were impressed with the hospitality offered to them by the sailors. Though they never figured out how to operate the complex flushing procedure for the head, the nuns did learn how to play cribbage. The four "Submarine Sisters" of St. Joseph of Orange returned to the Solomons after the war..

"The phrase employs the gerundive, a verbal adjective, of deleo, delere, delevi, deletum, "to destroy",[2] (delendus, -a, -um). The future passive participle "delenda" (meaning "to be destroyed") is then combined with the verb sum ("to be"[3]) or parts thereof, adds an element of compulsion or necessity, yielding "is to be destroyed", or, as it is more commonly rendered "must be destroyed". This then forms a predicative adjective.[4] This construction in Latin is known as the passive periphrastic. Carthago, -inis being a feminine noun, the feminine gender of the gerundive is applied. The fuller forms Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam or Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam use the so-called accusative and infinitive for the indirect statement."-

There is a very old church named "Nuestra Senora de la Leche y el Buen Parto", "Our Lady of Milk and Good Birthing", founded by nuns way back in the 1400ds.
Quite an unusual place with even a crazier name but I found it to be the most peaceful and relaxing place I've ever been to. There is an original chapel which was rebuilt several times and a graveyard where all the nuns were buried in. I've never seen anything like that here in the USA.
Then there's Ripley's "beleive it or not" museum with all kings of weird sttuff, and the fort. If you come down to Florida it is well worth to visit but you are going to walk!
Thanks!

I'd be willing to bet that the individual pieces were original cast metal. The new game are injection moulded plastic.

I copied the Latin text and found a Latin to Greek translator online.
You can find Cicero's Catiline Orations here: https://www.latin-is-simple.com/en/library/cicero/speeches-against-catiline/#google_vignette
The English translation...such elegant language!
