Oplomachus nunc es, fueras ophtalmicus ante.
Fecisti medicus quod facis oplomachus. You are a gladiator now, you were formerly an eye doctor. You did as a doctor what you do as a gladiator. Il gladiatore ora fai; un tempo, tu fosti oculista. Da medico facevi quel che nel circo fai. |
Martial, Epigrams, Book 8, XXVII
