ROMAN MILITARISM AS EXPRESSED IN ILLUSTRATIVE LATIN IDIOMS (II) (LETTERS E-I)
ROMAN MILITARISM AS EXPRESSED IN ILLUSTRATIVE LATIN IDIOMS (II) (LETTERS E-I)

Summary/Abstract: Latin was an universal language in Antiquity, but also for a long time afterwards. It was the language of Mars, and it survives even today through certain Latin terms preserved in modern dictionaries. This study aims to add to the discussion - started in the first part - by selecting all military expressions from the Latin-Romanian reference dictionary; additionally, where applicable, our study proposes a "military" translation. Furthermore, we will also analyse parts of speech and determine their frequency in the selected expressions. For a better understanding of the idioms which are representative of roman militarism, we have sorted them alphabetically. We will continue by analysing all military Latin idioms in Romanian Latin dictionaries.
