2 Livy uses the word in a more common sense but with a similar tinge of irony, egregiam istam palmam belli Punicipatratipetis? (28.41.8).

3 As CQ's anonymous referee points out, veniet is really more suited to poena than to palma. However, given the import of palma here, we may, perhaps, compare Prop. 3.25.12, et venial formae ruga sinistra tuae; Ovid, A.A. 2.117–18, et tibi iam venient cani, formose, capilli, / iam venient rugae, and Med. Fac. 48, et veniet rugis altera cura dolor.

4 I owe this reference to the TLL entry s.v. palma. I thank my colleague Joseph Cotter for helpful discussion.
