"Catch!" was a popular one I hear.

"Catch!" was very common! You can find some uh, really specific examples too though. Nothing quite like a bored soldier with a basic level of literacy!

In the case of Perusia, the news was a bit more sophisticated: “You’re done for, Lucius Antonius, you baldy”, “I seek Octavian’s ass”, “I seek Fulvia’s clitoris”.
