Furthermore he uses 'etiam' the adverb meaning 'even, also' to express how it is unnecessary to sacrifice innocent people when the supply of criminals has run out, burning them in a sadistic, inhumane way, indicating his disproval. ]]> 2018-02-21 12:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elewis28/1bnfpb9fhssl/wish/233698661 https://padlet.com/elewis28/1bnfpb9fhssl/wish/233698735 Caecilius uses a very long sentence to show shock as it makes it more like wow because it goes on for so long ]]> 2018-02-21 12:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/elewis28/1bnfpb9fhssl/wish/233698735 kparekh https://padlet.com/elewis28/1bnfpb9fhssl/wish/233698832 ‘vita homininis reddatur hominis vita’ is an example of chiasmus as one life is exchanged for another, conveys the sense of a trade of lives through the word positioning as well as through the language. 

The word ‘etiam’ = even, shows Caesar’s sense of shock at the extent to which these sacrifices are carried out, and comes after a long list of practises.

The imagery of ‘circumventi’ makes the scene more vivid and therefore more horrific for the Roman audience who, in general,  were against human sacrifice.
