Inscription:
“Cum de unius moribus iudicabis, de publicis cogita.”
This inscription comes from an essay of the roman philosopher, Seneca: On Anger (De Ira, 2, 31). Here is the translation:
“When you are about to pass judgement on one single man’s character, reflect upon the general mass.”
(Translation: John W. Basore. The Loeb Classical Library. London: W. Heinemann, 1928-1935. 3 vols.: Volume I)
