Warlord = duck´s belly. I mean, <i>dux belli </i>. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

dunno about that Ed. Dux means duke or military commander and was an actual Roman title, often used for emergencies or temporary expediencies, while Imperator although equated with Emperor and used for that purpose, really means to be invested with the imperatorial power and was only used technically when a definite tract of territory was permanently added to the Republic/Empire, although it became an automatic attribute for the Emperor regardless of whether he actually took part in a campaign or not. hence the Dux Britannarium, Duke of the Britons, was military commander of inland and northern Britannia, while Marcus Licinius Crassus gained his title of Imperator for conquering a stream and a handful of villages. but.. as I remember, foederates and socii kings, princes, etc. could also be granted the title of Dux, so yeh I think you´re right, dux <i>is </i> a better translation of warlord. You clever guy! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &lt;note to self: keep an eye on this Indy fellow&gt;

Well, I really didn´t go through all that thinking. And at this point it is against interest for me to explain my thinking on it anyway. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_clown.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Didn´t ff or somebody do a Latin topic a while ago? Look, I still have my latin name: <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://www.planetgromit.co.uk/tlr/blaze.gif ´> BlazeME: <i>Flameus Muchus n00bus </i> <A href=´http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=1967123´ Target=_Blank>Help me on Outwar.com</a>

Perhaps I shall change my name to &quot;Imperator Bob&quot; <img src=smilies/icon_smile_clown.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Latin´s a cool language. I would´ve wanted to learn it, but it´s dead.

I wish that they had offered it at my place of primary/secondary education. Still, what can you do? You know what they say; <i>Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur </i> (Trans: &quot;Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound&quot; ) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Edit: Apparently, &quot;Mannus&quot; is Latin for Mustang. Interesting... Edited by - esquilax on 2/18/2004 2:07:01 PM

Maybe this will be helpfull for all of ya.. I present you english-latin dictionary!! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <A href=´http://dictionaries.travlang.com/EnglishLatin´ Target=_Blank>Click here</a> Edited by - leonhart on 2/18/2004 2:53:34 PM

*Doffs hat* Much obliged, old son <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. I imagine that it will come in handy, because some people around here are incapable of using search engines.

yeah that was me

Damn! ff saw through my cunning insult! No, he´s getting paranoid. Check that, getting <i>more </i> paranoid <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. And to remain on topic a Latin message to all of the virus and trojan writers out there; <i>Ne auderis delere orbem rigidum meum! </i> (Trans: Don´t you dare erase my hard disk!) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Edit; Taw, here´s one for you <i>Prehende uxorem meam, sis! </i> (Trans: Take my wife, please!) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

im not getting paranoid, its the people in the white van down the road who are paranoid

@WLB Imperator Bob is classy. Although I kind of like Dux Belli Bob. It has a nice rhythm to it and reduces to a neater acronym.... DBB as opposed to IB. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> And, officia

Pax a melior ignius potestas Try and guess what this says Edited by - Arania - The Emperor on 2/18/2004 11:42:21 PM

i tip my hat to you leonheart. very helpful indeed. jake ------- i used to be a guy called jake_langley

What is ignius? Do you mean igneus?

peace -------- i dunno the rest

Indy - I thought Imperator was Warlord <img src=smilies/icon_smile_question.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (see Evil Things post) Oh well, perhaps I´ll retire from my violent ways and rule my empire as an emperor some day... <img src=s
