so to be clear, Cicero buys one of the fanciest houses in Rome right next door to the temple of Magna Mater.

Clodius is accused of being caught in girl mode, dressed as a Galli, screwing Caesars wife during a festival of the Good Goddess (another form of Cybele/Magna Mater) where no man may be present, Cicero tries to use this as a way to finally be rid of Clodius but it fails and the triumverate backs Clodius - who reprisal passes a law targetting Cicero for his execution of roman citizens for conspiracy prior.

Caesar says he cant help.

Cicero is exiled, Clodius buys his house and razes it and erects a temple to the goddess "Liberty" who arrived in the roman pantheon alongside phyrigian mother goddess Cyble and her consort Attis, notably linked by the phyrigian cap symbol as Attis is illustrated always wearing yet round the corner in the Temple of Magna Mater Attis's statue is in repose, not in Phyrigian cap but sun crown, which ends up being the likely inspiration for the adornment for the statue of the goddess Liberty in New York after Secretary of War Jefferson Davis insisted against her wearing a phyrigian cap, on the grounds that "American liberty is original and not the liberty of the freed slave".
