Sometimes it is of the utmost importance to be completely honest with who you are, be it a psychotic weirdo or a boring bookworm. This is me, being both.

Tacitus, Nero and Agrippina

Section IIb- lines 5-8

quam in litus venientem
(nam Antio adventabat) excepit manu et complexu duxitque
Baulos. id villae noman est quae inter promunturium Misenum
et Baianum lacum mari adluitur.

He recieved her with his hand and an embrace as she was coming on to the shore (for she was coming from Antium) and led her to Bauli. That is the name of a villa which is lapped by the sea between the headland and Misenum and lake Baiae.
