Exempla

“Trōās, rēliquiās Danaum atque immītis Achillī”

the Trojans, remnants of the Greeks and especially the merciless Achilles (That is, Achilles and the Greek warriors slaughtered the Trojans except Aeneas and a small remainder who escaped; in the context of Juno’s persistent disdain for the Trojans, the more derogatory “remnants” is more appropriate than “survivors.” See: Juno (mythology), Achilles; Danai.)
