I always was a fan of Seneca (his "Ethicus epistolae" is one of my favorite books ) dear Claudius.
My quote is from his "Octavia", 466.
Although in "Trojans", 343 he put it even better:
Quod non vetat lex, hoc vetat fieri pudor
Thank you for your highly interesting and erudite (your Latin is indeed impressive!) response.
I completely agree with all your interpretations and really glad that my comment was more or less informative
As for "He lived in the “460’s” but the same could have been said about the 1960’s AD (and today)"
I believe the same could be applied to any time period.
Unfortunately ...
"Res Ipsa Loquitur" - it certainly is
Vale et mihi faveas (old school latinus guys should stick together )
Best,
Nick
