Post mortem nihil est, ipsaque mors nihil.

and Pigault LeBrun

"Cicero was a Pyrrhonien, Lucretius was an Atheist, and both freely published their opinions.  On the theater at Rome they sung ‘Post mortem nihil est, ipsaque mors nihil.’ After death nothing is, therefore death is nothing.”

From “Le Citateur par Pigault, LeBrun.”

Well, there’s a lot of potential homework on this one. Do you know what Pyrrhonianism is ? Nah. Nobody does any more; and it’s a damn shame. Pyrrhonism - as it is called today - is the philosophy of Skepticism derived from Pyrrho of Elis (c. 370–c. 272 bce), generally regarded as the founder of ancient Skepticism. He identified as wise men those who suspend judgment (practice epochē) and take no part in the controversy regarding the possibility of certain knowledge.

How about Pigault LeBrun ? The Wiki article does a good job on him at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigault-Lebrun

The kicker is that our guy Gilbert Vale - who appears regularly on this blog - published LaBrun’s LA CITATEUR, which translated means “the summoner,” or the one who causes parties to appear to answer to the charges brought against them. Your blogger owns a rare copy of the original Vale imprint and will post a photo of it one day. Meanwhile

The context is freedom of the press and freedom of thought. No one came to arrest Cicero or Lucretius, but people WERE arrested and jailed for blasphemy in the USA, Britain, and Europe until enough people agitated, revolted, and FOUGHT to put in place guarantees for you to say what you damned well think. Think about that or, as my mother says, “put that in your pipe and smoke it.” Think, study, agitate, struggle, and fight.
