#Emperor Augustus
- Acta est fabula — A famous Latin aphorism literally translated as 'The play has been acted' or 'The story is finished'. In ancient Roman theater, this structural phrase was pronounced at the end of performances to announce to the audience that the play was over and that they could leave. Existentially, the expression is used metaphorically to mark the end of an important stage, the definitive failure of a plan, or the end of life (historically attributed as the last words of Emperor Augustus).
