Cicero's hands were cut off as a symbolic act of vengeance after his assassination in 43 BCE. This brutal act was ordered by Marc Antony and his supporters to punish Cicero for his role in the political turmoil and for opposing Antony's ambitions. The mutilation of his body, along with the display of his severed hands, was meant to serve as a warning to others who might challenge Antony's authority. Cicero's hands were famously known for delivering powerful speeches, making the act particularly poignant.
