History tells of similar instances of barbarity. Mark Antony caused the heads of these whom he had. proscribed to be brought to him while he was at table, and entertained himself by looking at them. Cicero's head being one of those brought, he ordered it to be placed on the very tribune whence Cicero had spoken against him. Agrippina, the mother of Nero, sent an officer to kill Lollia Paulina, her rival for the throne. When her head was brought, she examined it with her hands, till she discovered some mark by which the lady had been distinguished.
