Exempla

“[…] sit dēnique īnscrīptum in fronte ūnīus cuiusque quid dē rē pūblicā sentiat.”

Finally, let it be inscribed on the forehead of each one what he thinks about the Republic. (A reference to the ancient Roman practice of branding or tattooing runaway slaves and hardened criminals; the forehead was the most visible and degrading location for this mark of shame.)

“frontem perfricāre”

to assume a bold air

“exclāmet Melicerta perīsse frontem dē rēbus”

(please add an English translation of this quotation)

“… et maestam dictīs adgressa sorōrem,”

… and [as Dido] approaches her sorrowful sister to talk, by her expression she hides her plan, and even shines with serene hope in her appearance.

“prīmā fronte”

at first sight

“ā fronte, in fronte, in prīmā fronte, in frontem”

in front, to the fore

“Limumque tenent in fronde relictum. (Metamorphoses, 1, 347, Ovidius)”

And they hold some leftover mud in their foliage. (Metamorphoses, 1, 347, Ovid)
