Latin Rules!

Latin Rules!  Here are 65 Latin Sententiae and their meanings.  These are maxims, adages, and sayings of the ancient Romans that we find so often in our contemporary readings, culture, and conversations. Along with the sententiae we have included English translations, alternate translations or interpretations, comparative maxims in other languages, bits of history and background about the phrase, Latin grammar and syntax points, rhetoric or figures of speech that appear in the phrases, and the etymology of the Latin words including derivatives in four languages. You and your students will enjoy finding other information to add to their understanding of each Latin sententia.
