#irreversible decision
- The die has been cast — A famous Latin expression literally translated as 'the die has been cast', historically attributed by Suetonius to Julius Caesar at the moment of crossing the Rubicon river in 49 BC. This symbolic action marked the start of the civil war against the Roman Senate, and the maxim is universally used today to describe an irreversible decision, a major turning point from which there is no turning back.
