The motto of the US Marines, "Semper Fidelis" -- "Semper Fi" for short -- translates from the Latin as "Always faithful."

The family prayer, is a prayer to illustrate an oath/oration to God, that they will do all in their power to shepherd the weak through the evils brought forth by evil men and the dissatisfaction with those who would do harm to the innocents, and giving thanks to God to be able to do something about it. (See: Ezekiel 25:17) That the souls of the wicked shall be purified by blood, and sent back to their maker, if it is in their power: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit"

The final part:

"In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti."

Reason.

No one can say for certain just how Julius Caesar and his contemporaries pronounced their Latin. The best guess for the pronunciation of "veni, vedi, vici" is still "vee nay, vee dee, vee cee." The "w" and hard consonant ("wen nee, wed dee, wiki") first showed up in sixteenth century England and was probably an out-growth of the Protestant Reformation which sought to rid itself of any ties to the Catholic Church and its Latin which has been in use since the first century AD.

Whose "correct" is better? There are different opinions of how "Veni, vidi, vice." should be pronounced even among mutually respected scholars: in church Latin, "Vaynee, veedee, veechee." is generally considered correct, while the most common classical pronunciation is "Waynee, weedee, weekee."

Most Latin scholars currently teaching or studying Latin go with the classical pronunciation, but the church pronunciation is still common with those who studied Latin more than 20 years ago or not at all.

From 1804 to 1812, there were several groups of people that broke away from the Democratic-Republican Party and started their own factions. These people were referred to as tertium quids, or sometimes just quids. It was considered a derogatory term.

The Domus Aurea or Golden House, was built by the emperor Nero after the great fire of Rome. It was built for a dual purpose. The first was as a official residence for Nero. The second was for the enjoyment of the Roman people. It was huge and was a masterpiece of innovation. What many historians gloss over is that much of the area covered by the Domus Aurea was open to the public. Its landscaped gardens and lakes brought the country to the city.

As stated it is the moto of the Royal Artillery.

Meaning....Everywhere, where right and glory leads us

Traditionally, the names battles or places where units have served gallantly are given as 'Battle Honors'. In 1883, artillery units of the Royal Artillery were given two distinct priveledges, the first being the installment of an official 'overall' motto, which has since been adopted by almost all units of the Royal Artillery, this being the motto:

"Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt", the traditional translation of which is: "Whither Duty and Glory Lead" albeit now commonly translated as 'Where Duty And Glory Lead'

The second priveledge, and one that is unique in the Armed Services, is the installation of the Battle Honor: "UBIQUE" which translates literally as "EVERYWHERE" This symbolically linked the 'Gunners' as the enlisted artillerymen are known, with the Battle Honors of all major engagements they have fought in. It also supercedes all previously granted Battle Honors.

When the wedding day arrived, everyone rose early. Aurelia is urging Marcus and Sextus so that they will hurry. Slave women are running here and there to prepare everyone.

Flavia and Vinia, the mother of him, are already being present for a long time. Soon some other friends and nearby ones were arriving. Those approaching were very happy when they saw that the door and gates are being decorated with ribbons and circles of myrtle and laurie. While entering the home they are led into the atrium, meanwhile Cornelia, clothed with a white tunic, wearing a flammeum, is waiting for them. A little later shouting and the laughing is greatly being heard. Valerius is entering with relatives and friends.

Cornelia has stood at the altar with a bride's attendant. Previously the religious rites were properly prepared, and the priest advances to sacrifice a pig. When he examines the inner organs, he said, "Everything is good." Then the wedding tablets are signed. Vinia the bride's attendant joined hands with Valerius and Cornelia. After asking Valerius, "What is your name?" Cornelia said, "When you are Gaius, I am Gaius." After this had been done, every person had exclaimed, "Good luck!"

Dinner had been prepared, so all guests had reclined, after the great dinner follows the drinking party full of hilarity.

Now it is getting dark. Cornelia is clinging with her mother, Valerius pretends to snatch her from the hands of her mother with violence. Soon she is being shown to her new home, with many guests accompanying. Five boys ran ahead to carry burning torches; the rest follow singing and laughing; they throw nuts to the children who rushed up everywhere. When they come to the house, the bride is carried over the threshold so that she wouldn't stumble.

"Cornelia is so lucky!" exclaimes Flavia.
