My daily Latin card
Every day, I am pleased to note that previously strange expressions sound more and more familiar. The brain requires training!
Today we learn the statement: Alea iacta est!
Die is cast! There is no way back!
January 10, 49 BC Julius Caesar, knowing that the Senate ordered him to disband the army, took the decision to invade Italy. So the civil war began and as a result, Julius Caesar became the sole ruler. Crossing the Rubicon River, which separated Gaul from the north of Italy, he considered his decision for a long time. Finally he said: Alea iacta est!
Repetitio est mater studiorum! - said the ancient Romans. Try to remember the meaning of the phrases that we learned before.
