virtus et honor
The English phrase "strength and honor" is translated into Latin as virtus et honor.

Did you know?

  • In Roman culture, honor was not just a feeling of respect but a public rank or official position granted by the state.
  • The word virtus is derived from vir, the Latin word for 'man'. In ancient Rome, 'strength' and 'manliness' were considered the same quality.
  • While virtus translates to 'strength' today, for a Roman it specifically meant the courage and military skill shown in battle.
