Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Wife of Antony.[1] She cut off the head of the orator Cicero,[2] took it on her knees and insulted it and spat on it for a long while; then finally she opened its mouth, pulled out the tongue and pierced it with her hair-pin. She addressed it at length in revolting terms, and then ordered it to be placed on the speaker's rostrum, so that she could see it where she had heard it speak against her.
