83. Carthago delenda est

Here's one that may need a little explanation. You see, Cato the Elder, the famed Roman orator, didn't like Carthage. I mean, he really disliked the place. Unsurprisingly, that meant that he supported the Romans in the Punic Wars against Carthage. More noteworthy, to me, is the artfulness of his propaganda campaign against Carthage. Every speech the man made, regardless of topic, ended with what must have been a rousing declaration of Carthago delenda est! (Carthage must be destroyed.) And so it was, and they salted the earth so that nothing could ever grow again.

Now, Aaron may protest that an ancient political slogan isn't really art. And to that I reply Aaron delenda est!
