#MarcusTulliusCicero was born on #ThisDayInHistory in 106 BCE. Cicero's eclectic mix of #Neoplatonism, #Scepticism, & #Stoicism is interesting to philosophers, and his innovative mastery of #Latin helped to launch the #Renaissance once his work was reintroduced by #Petrarch.
Potsdam, Museum Barberini, DAS EINHORN. I wasn’t expecting to see one of the most famous cassoni with illustrations of #Petrarch, TRIUMPHS. Splendid!

No one is a man of learning unless he is also a heretic and a madman, and above all, aggressively perverse.
