In Latin, the middle finger was the digitus impudicus, meaning the shameless, indecent or offensive finger. In the 1st century AD, Persius had superstitious female relatives concoct a charm with the infamous finger (digitus infamis) and purifying spit; while in the Satyricon, an old woman uses dust, spit and her middle finger to mark the forehead before casting a spell.
