Product detailed description
Why did Archimedes shout “Heureka!” as he got out of the bath? Which Roman emperor is quoted by rapper Jay-Z? What is the Latin motto of the US Marines or the European Union? Where can you find the inscription Praga caput regni? What does corpus delicti mean in detective stories and carpe diem on birthday cards?
This beautifully illustrated collection of ancient sayings demonstrates that Latin is everywhere—in our wallets, cities, laws, daily conversations, and worldview. Stories from times when wise men sacrificed for science or lived by their own beliefs, and when a few figs could justify war, still speak to us today. Summa summarum, studying Latin is excellent brain training, and this entertaining and insightful book deserves a place in every family library.
