QuoteQuest“Tacitus refers to him as “'iners”', which can be translated as inept. Tartaglia always looks dazed, with a slightly silly smile. Seneca says that “his voice resembled that of a sea calf”. A bon vivant, very fond of sex, a great eater and drinker, he spends a lot of time at the table, gorging himself and getting very drunk.”
