Capitolo 44
money; the word Caesar that means an elephant in the language of Punic.
This was artificially contrived by Caesar, because it was not legal
for a private man to stamp his/her his/her own figure on the coin of the
republic. Cicero that had called so that him the founder of his
family that has been marked on the nose with a small wen as a vetch,

the tree that from the help of spelling a few false invented the
word Newberry.
I will conclude this theme with a rebus that has lately been cut
