Examples

“‘vīdimus ōrnātōs aerāta per ātria picta veste triumphālēs occubuisse senēs’ “We have seen [them], adorned in their embroidered [robes], fallen dead throughout the bronze-covered halls: [those] oft-honored old veterans.” (The poetic voice of Mars is addressing Jupiter. The Gauls, having invaded Rome, have attacked elderly veterans who had had military triumphs, “senēs triumphālēs”; these vets were dressed in their symbolic garments, “ōrnātōs picta”; and it happened throughout the halls of state, “per ātria aerāta”. In other words, such enemy brutality is an affront to human dignity and Roman honor.)”
