Mars Exulti?

Recommended Posts

Did you mean "Ultor"? it's mean "Avenger", the title was first attached to Mars by Octavian after his victory over Brutus and Cassius at the battle of Philipi in 42 BC.

I think it is something like 'Praise Mars', but don't quote me, all my Latin books are at home, unless someone beats me to it, I will add it to the list of Latin phrases I need to translate. Check Google. Sometimes if you type in something in Latin it will come up with a site translating it.

 

Good Luck.

I've tried to google it but with no luck. The phrase comes up, but with no translation.

 

It is used in HBO's "Rome", in the second season. Agrippa stands before a group of soldiers and shouts "Mars!" an they reply "Exulti!"

ex(s)ulte is a derivative (imperative singular) of exsultare

so

mars exsulte!

would mean

mars rejoice!

or if you take the corresponding loanword

mars exult!
