@@ScorpioMartianus It is from Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum est". Owen himself was a soldier during WWI and since his sentiments match those of Aemilius (while also addressing lines written by Horace), it seemed applicable...
@@veramarsova4930 Oh of course! Look at you, knowing my own language's literature better than I. :D The legends of the highly literate Russians have not been false. :)
@@ScorpioMartianus haha, to tell you the truth, I am actually pretty unknowledgeable about poetry 🤫 The only reason I know about Wilfred Owen and some of his work is because Remarque based his main character in Im Westen Nichts Neues partially on Owen.
I’ve a question regarding the use of subjunctive mood in Aemilius’s letter. If the what has been described in the letter about the battle at night had actually happened, why almost every action was done using subjunctive mood?(which somewhat conveys a sense of uncertainty?)
What's the difference between 'singulī, ternī' and 'ūnī, trīnī'? Online they say they're distributive numbers but I assume they have to be different somehow.
Bellum dictum! :D Sed ut Imperator Georgius Patton (Americanus) olim dixit, "Nolo mori pro patria. Volo ut alter bastardus pro eius patria moriatur!" hahae.
Brilliant of Orberg to teach the pluperpect subjunctive in the context of a letter in the past about an earlier event.
I agree!
Do you plan to create the audio for Roma Aeterna? I am working through Capitulum XXXVIII now and could use it!
Yes! I am doing the whole series. :)
ScorpioMartianus Fantastic!!
"My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."
A perfect translation! Macta!

Capitulum ,,De exercitus romanus” lacrimosus mihi est. Magnus dolor est milites pro morte amici. Isti germani gens belicosa erant!

Cum + subjunctive for time “when”
bello per chi come me vuole imparare il latino per girare il mondo
So i guess this pegs the timeframe pretty solidly sometime during the marcomannic wars
Oerbergium arbitror Caesaris operibus prius magnā cūrā studuisse quam hoc capitulum compōnere coepisset.
Sānē!
I thought the same thing lol, this reminded me of De Bello Gallico
Meā sententiā istud est capitulum omnium difficillimum, sed nesciō cūr sīc crēdam.
Immō duo capitula hoc sequuntur, nec tamen illa hōc difficiliōra reor esse.

@@williams.5952 Fortasse quia non sunt novae regulae grammaticales in proximis capitulis?
This was the last chapter that introduced an important part of the grammar of Latin, the remaining two chapters are more a review.

So it's used because the word litterās is used to refer to the singular letter?
Right!
Ha scelto lui di fare il militare e ora si rende conto che è brutto... sembra quasi una vittima
