[Grammaticus @graecolatinus]

"To declare war" in Latin:

Pay attention: You never say "bellum declarare" in Classical Latin, but "bellum indicere" or "bellum denuntiare".

It's typical of Classicist:

[Grammaticus @graecolatinus]

nubes, incertum procul intuentibus, ex quo monte (Vesuvium fuisse postea cognitum est), oriebatur, cuius similitudinem et formam non alia magis arbor quam pinus expresserit.
(Plin. epist. 6.16.5-6)

'intuentibus' would be a good example for dativus iudicantis.

[Grammaticus @graecolatinus]

I admire how accurate the 'Stone Pine'-metaphor by Pliny the Younger to the eruption column was:
#TongaVolcanoEruption #Plinianeruption

[Grammaticus @graecolatinus]

@ThraexBarbatus Stone Pine!

[Grammaticus @graecolatinus]

The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano may be categorized as so-called "Plinian eruption", according to the letter(s) by Pliny the Younger, in which he described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Cf. Plin. epist. 6.16 i.e. 20.

Since a long time ago, I have been considering why there is a clear difference between Greek and Latin classes, though many of them should have learned i.e. are learning both languages (I mean the atmosphere of the class).

And it seems to be grown more on advanced courses.

A happy morning dawns. Fair speech, fair thoughts I crave! Now must good words be spoken on a good day.

I dare say "in aqua sanitas est" would be better, don't you think?

Future historians should read every tweets by important persons and edit them with commentaries.

Have fun and good luck.

I was shocked when I knew why 'ν' was omitted for virus variants that modern people would confuse it with 'new'.

#LeDernierDuel de Ridley Scott est excellent, déjà par les performances des acteurs qui n'ont plus rien à prouver, mais avant tout par la construction du film en plusieurs parties (idée géniale et efficace) et par le sentiment qu'une véritable recherche historique a été faite.
