FLavius Valerius Constantinus 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) BTW, does anyone know the source of my sig? I got it from an old Latin assignment! Uh Seneca? Anyways, the obvious goes for me: In Hoc Signo Vinces Edited January 23, 2006 by FLavius Valerius Constantinus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Q Valerius Scerio 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 In hoc signo vinces - the phrase that marked the beginning of Rome's death. But that is topic for another thread. My personal favorite is: Id est, quod est. Therein sums up my entire philosophy. (Incidentally, I made it up as well.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ludovicus 5 Report post Posted January 24, 2006 Romae Romane Age "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Literally: At Rome, Romanly do. Eight words in English, but three words in Latin. That's one of the beauties of the Latin Language. Here's another one of my favorites often found on tombstones: Hodie mihi, cras tibi. "Today to me, tomorrow to you."
