Memento Mori:



Roman elites were extremely fearful of "arrogance." During triumph processions, Roman generals or emperors would have a slave standing behind them, constantly whispering in their ear:

"Memento mori" (Remember you will die)
"Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento!" (Look behind you! Remember you are only human!)
