I was having difficulties with reading at the end of 2019, and it wasn’t until I started reading non fictions that I start pulling myself out of a reading slump, and I was really excited about reading this book, so to not actually finished it, I really want to chastise myself for it.
The sign reminded the people of the fact that they were a part of a fledgling republic, and to be proud that, they were not ruled by a monarch any more.This is genuinely my first DNF book of 2020, which I’m a bit bummed about. While common folk had formed committees and had the power to influence local issues, the senate had immense authority over the movements of armed forces and diplomats. Both the people as well as the government had considerable influence on different aspects of nation’s progress. In ancient Rome, this symbol indicated the difference between the common man and the governing authority of the senate, and was used as propaganda to promote the senate. The SPQR symbol was first used by the Roman Senate when the nation changed into a republic sometime around 80 BCE., after the people defeated the last Roman emperor Tarquin. The letters SPQR are the abbreviation of the Latin phrase Senatus Populusque Romanus, which translates to ‘ The Senate and People of Rome’.
While many of these phrases such as semper anticus (always forward) carpe diem (seize the day) are used mainly in English-speaking countries, SPQR is one of a few such phrases that is used widely in the country of its origin. During Benito Mussolini’s reign, the fascist dictator had several public buildings, monuments, and manhole lids, inscribed with SPQR to promote his dictatorship as the rise of a new Roman Empire.Īlthough Latin has become obsolete, many words and phrases have been incorporated into English and other modern languages.
