Exempla

“Praetermittō ruīnās fortūnārum tuārum, quās omnēs proximīs Īdibus tibi impendēre sentiēs; […] .”

I pass over the ruin of your fortunes, all of which you will feel hanging over you on the next Ides. (In other words, Catiline’s huge debts will soon come due; ancient Romans typically paid regular monthly debts and rent on the Kalends, or first of the month, while major loans and interest were often paid on the Ides.)
