Idus Martiae
Description:"Many of our spells come from Latin derivatives, yet we pay little attention to the meanings behind them or give little credit to the hard work Professors place in teaching students incantations. Or rather we don't give enough credit to the great ancient roman teachers who passed such words down to us all. It is Idus Martiae or "The Middle of March," the day Julius Caesar, one of Roman's greatest military generals/politicians was stabbed 26 times by his own council. A sad day, but to commemorate and bring honor to those before us Professor Aarden has set up tables covered with arts and crafts material including blank rectangular foam/cardboard. "Scutums:" Rectangular shields. Design these shields however you wish, describing the color choice and design. However, most importantly you must include a short Latin Phrase/Quote on your shield. Provide information as to why IC you chose the phrase. Perhaps it speaks volumes about your quirky personality, your edgy backstory, or because it simply caught your eye. Below is a list of Latin phrases/quotes. Now go out and protect yourselves from being stabbed with your shields of hope!"
Additional Info: The thread can be found in the Transfiguration classroom here. If you don't see a latin quote/phrase you like and find one on your own time, then please Owl Professor Aarden to check for approval. Or Owl if you have any questions about the quotes or errand [*Note, Professor Aarden knows his Latin, so don't try and be tricky or use something inappropriate].Latin Quotes:
