Et Cetera

An illustrated guide to memorable Latin phrases, including famous quotations on love, death, nature, politics, and more.

From “carpe diem” to the more obscure “alea iacta est,”classicist Maia Lee-Chin examines
the deeper meanings of many Latin phrases still in use—as well as those lost to the ages.
