Description: The pictura of this emblem by the Italian jurist and writer Andrea Alciato (1492 – 1550 CE) features Nemesis, the ancient Greek goddess of retribution against human hubris, carrying the measure and the hard bit. The subscriptio interprets this scene as representative of the need to observe limits in all things, lest one wounds or utters improper words against others.
