aphroditeinfurs: Fulvia With the Head of Cicero by Pavel Svedomsky, 1849 The orator Marcus Tullius Cicero was a rival of Mark Antony and his wife Fulvia, and often trash talked the two and accused them of multiple forms of lechery, once accusing Antony of leaving his positions in the battlefield to sneak back to Rome to engage in intercourse with Fulvia. When Antony came to power, he had Cicero killed and brought his decapitated head to his Fulvia, who laughed at it and stuck hairpins into Cicero’s tongue. -- source link
