Examples
“Dīcō tē priōre nocte vēnisse inter falcāriōs — nōn agam obscūrē — in M. Laecae domum; convēnisse eōdem complūrēs eiusdem āmentiae scelerisque sociōs.”
I say that you came last night among the scythe-makers — I will not speak in veiled terms — into the house of Marcus Laeca; and that several accomplices of the same madness and crime gathered in that same place. (That is, the scythe-makers’ quarter, neighborhood, or street in ancient Rome: identifying the location lends credibility to Cicero’s charge against Cataline.)
