"Sic transit gloria mundi" = Gloria, the van's broken down for Monday
"Old in England to me they who will have received"?!
Try this then: Salve ab antiquis Anglia
Salve, magistrum! Magistra? :D :wave:

If I´m not mistaking, the prepostion "ab" is not correct for usage as a translation for "from" when you´re not somehow moving away from England...
I think it should be "Salve magister" (M) or "Salve magistra" (F) ...
I studied Latin for 6 years, but since then 30 years have passed 8}
Salve de Belgica (Secunda) :)
You know, the region about one once wrote "Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, ... " ;)
(And let´s forget the next part was "... propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important" ::) )
Like many people, this part of Caesar was one of the first actual ancient texts I read.
Tu quoque, playmofanatici mi?! ;D
Salve de Novo Mexico!(?) I'm fairly certain Caesar went to neither the new nor the old Mexico, and I haven't the slightest idea what declension to assign to it. I had to take a year of Latin at uni. 30 years have not passed, but sometimes it feels like they have. I hope you share your website when it's up because we clearly need a Latin grammar refresher. :lol:
Some people who use Latin as a living language use Mexicum (neuter gender).
Hmm... So, NOT like exempli gratia most 'feminin' provinces/countries of the Roman era: Italia, Hispania, Gallia, Germania, Brittannia, Africa, et cetera...
'Egypt' was apparently regarded (very) 'masculin', as it was called 'Aegyptus'.
Let´s call 'New Mexico' ... MeXICuM noVuM ;D
