[English to Latin Translation]

We can give you latin names, but I need the meaning behind your first and last name, I can do middle and replace it with your first if you prefer. Also you need to adopt one praenomen(id est Marcus, Lucius, Gaius, et cetera)

[How to become a Moderator]

HMM, I wonder how long it would take me to get to 2000 posts and become an administrator or mod.

[Carracala]

Thank you very much sullafelix.

[Pompeii Exhibit At The Field Museum]

My Latin class finally goes on a field trip to the Field Museum and they just installed a huge Pompeii exhibit. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what to look at the exhibit and you guess want me to ask some questions or get details. This is gonna be awesome.

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

What kind of intruments were used if any?

[English to Latin Translation]

1) Ubi malus consternatus stant, me cum sancti cincti vocat.(My translation, there are many different words for wicked,surrounded,and saints.)

 

Confutatis maledictis, Voca me cum benedictis.( this is from the official latin text, notice how many words are missing. I really don't like the choice of words they chose too. The Church really is bad at this but its an endless ritual chant so they don't have time to say everything. Also notice there aren't any verbs int it.WEIRD)

[Carracala]

His name first intrigued me because it sound so cool, then I did some searching on him, but so far, I haven't got enough info.

[The Proposition]

You're welcomed overlord Viggen.

[Are There Any Teachers On Here]

I'm just curious if there were any Latin teachers.

I guess the majority wins.

[Iberians, Celts, And Visigoths]

Sorry but where is Iberia? Is it like ireland or something.

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

On a mass scale, I would say decimation is probably the worst in the legion. I don't get why an emperor would want to destroy his own legion.

[Historical Jesus Found!]

Wow, what the nerve of that article, I don't know why people bother reading it.

[Helen Of Troy Existed?]

Wait, how many Helens' are we talking about here?

[Worst Roman Punishment?]

The worst punishment of anything is death pretty much. I remembered watching something on the history channel about a Roman fort in Britannia. While digging in the fort , the archeologist found a scull neatly cut in half( the face part of the skull was totally sliced off, isn't that gruesome). The archeologists assumed the cut-face belonged to a merchant who ripped off the Roman soldiers and so the soldiers got pissed.But then some other archeologist came up with the wack idea that the face belonged to a Roman soldier that everyone disliked. WEIRD isn't it.

[The Proposition]

Sorry, but the majority of us are from England and the US(I assume you are from Austrailia?), so I doubt any of us would know what you are talking about.

[Forum Upgrade]

Is there any chance of whatsoever that the mods can change the layout or theme of the forum because I find it dull and hard to concentrate when reading.

[What Did The Roman Empire Do For Us?]

Mons Graupius Mons Graupius, every bleeding heart, barb lovin, 'it wasent a Darl Age' revisionist's favorite moment.

Uhhhh...sorry I have no idea what you mean.

[English to Latin Translation]

"Esox Lucius"

 

Esox, the old Latin name for pike, used as early as Pliny; perhaps derived from the Greek isox, or both the Latin and Greek from a common Celtic root (as in the Welsh ehawc, eog, "salmon")

lucius, from the supposed Latin name for the species, likely derived from the Greek lukos, "wolf", an obvious reference to the predatory habits of this fish.

 

Ironically, the latin for pike is also lucius, so it might be confusing.

 

Here is how it goes:

1) the first word usually is the name of the genus( means species with common attributes, features, and characteristics to clear up how they get the name)

2) second word is the name of the species is conjugated in the latin adjective form( word used usually refers to or means an attribute of a creature or where it may be from.This can also apply to the genus)

[Wheres Everyone From]

I'm the way northside of Chicago, Illinois. That's right, I'm a Cubbie.

[Celtic Nationalism]

It's bad. Most people associate Celtics with ireland, and the rest of Great Brittain. But Galicia in Spain is VERY Celtic. Many countries had a Celtic past that they no longer remember or really care about. Like when the bagpipe is thoght of you think of Ireland, but experts say the babgpipe may have come from Celtic Spain.

 

Uh so are we discussing about modern day Celtic nationalism or the past.

If so, then its good because either way, you are identifying your cultural roots which is good to know.

Violentilla is seriously such a cool name, I wish I had such cool wit and creativity.

As for me I decided to imitate or emulate my favorite emperor.

[What Amped Up The Roman Soldiers' Pysche Before A Battle?]

Thanks alot Jim, that got me thinking a little better.

[Apostle Paul]

Apsotle Paul ... How important was he to the church?

 

The Israel and Church of Christ have only one God.

 

and most Protestant religion have two gods,

 

and some Protestant and the Roman Catholic have three gods, and believe in the Trinity Doctrine.

 

What do you mean some Roman Catholic have three Gods, us Catholics may refer to it as if we had three Gods, but we're still talking about the same GOD and that is where the Trinity Doctrine comes in.
