The English meaning of the Latin phrase 'O mare atlanticum mare arabicum et indicum oceanus orientalis oceanus aethiopicus' is the following: Oh Atlantic Ocean, Arabian and Indian Ocean, Eastern Ocean and Red Sea. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'o' means 'oh'; 'mare' means 'ocean'; 'atlanticum' means 'Atlantic'; 'arabicum' means 'Arabian'; 'et' means 'and'; 'indicum' means 'Indian'; 'oceanus' means 'ocean'; 'orientalis' means 'Eastern'; and 'aethiopicus' means 'Ethiopian'. The ancient Romans used the term 'oceanus' to refer to a body of water that encircles the entire world. Their term 'mare' simply refers to a large body of water, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The 'Eastern Ocean' may refer to the Pacific, of which the ancient Romans were aware. For they traded as far east as Vietnam. The term 'oceanus aethiopicus' must refer to the Red Sea. For that's the only body of water along which the ancient and modern country of Ethiopia runs.
