Crossing The Rubicon
The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means "passing a point of no return". Its meaning comes from allusion to the crossing of the river Rubicon by Julius Caesar in early January 49 BC. The exact date is unknown. Scholars usually place it on the night of 10 and 11 January, based on speeds at which messengers could travel at that time. His crossing of the river precipitated Caesar's civil war, which ultimately led to Caesar's becoming dictator for life (''dictator perpetuo)''. Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. As his term of governorship ended, the Senate ordered him to disband his army and return to Rome. As it was illegal to bring armies into Italy (the northern border of which was marked by the river Rubicon) his crossing the river under arms amounted to insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the state. According to some authors, he uttered the phrase ''alea iacta est'' ("the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Point Of No Return
The point of no return (PNR or PONR) is the point beyond which one must continue on one's current course of action because turning back is dangerous, physically impossible or difficult, or prohibitively expensive. The point of no return can be a calculated point during a continuous action (such as in aviation). A particular irreversible action (such as setting off an explosion or signing a contract) can be a point of no return. Origins and spread of the expression The phrase "point of no return" originated as a technical term in air navigation to refer to the time and/or location during a flight at which the aircraft no longer has enough fuel to return to its originating airfield. Important decisions may need to be made prior to the point of no return, since it will be unsafe to turn around and fly back if the pilot changes their mind after that point. Otherwise, it may correspond to the aircraft's maximal safe range in a situation where the only possible landing site ''is'' th ...

Crossing The Rubicon (song)
"Crossing the Rubicon" is a song written and performed by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and released as the eighth track on his 2020 album ''Rough and Rowdy Ways''. It is a slow electric blues featuring lyrics that heavily reference classical antiquity and the life of Julius Caesar in particular. Background and composition Making allusions to and appropriating phrases from the literature and cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome has been an important part of Dylan's songwriting process in the 21st century (beginning with a single quotation from Virgil's ''Aeneid'' in his 2001 song " Lonesome Day Blues" from ''Love and Theft''). These references, as charted by historian and Harvard Latinist Richard F. Thomas in his 2017 book ''Why Bob Dylan Matters'', have become more frequent and prominent in Dylan's original songs over time, culminating with ''Rough and Rowdy Ways'' featuring two songs that use classical antiquity explicitly as their subjects (as evidenced b ...
