There are several Latin words that mean "old":

  • ancient, former - antiquus
  • aged, elderly - senex
  • veteran, long-standing - vetus

EDIT:

Just to note:

Antiquus means ancient as in something that used to exist but does not anymore. If New England is novus, then normal England would be Antiquus.

Senex as an adjective refers to someone who has lived though half of their 40th year or beyond.

Vetus is the more like the opposite of young than of new, although it gets used to mean the opposite of new and aged by various authors.
