From Liv Yarrow, quoting Cicero A.6.1, a fascinating comment about Flavius publishing the Roman Calendar so that everyone could know when proper business days were. I hate petty oligarchical economically inefficient corruption so much -it's literally the Old Boys Network very much in action in Rome.
Now I remember the time I made an undergrad Latin prof uncomfortable by connecting the Boni to the "good old boys" (derogatory) when he had just made the comparison himself intending it as complimentary.
