CODEX 16.2

 

Please make your selection from the above CODEX menu options for Episode 16.2

KEY-TEXT

Adapted from Tacitus Dē vitā Gnaeī Iūliī Agricolae

namque absentia lēgātī metum Britannōrum remōvit. Britannī agitābant inter sē mala servitūtis; conferrēbant iniūriās; īrā accendēbant, cōgītāntēs dē Rōmānīs. sibi inquiunt "nihil proficit patientia nisi Romanī graviōra nōbīs dant. singulī Britannī antiquī rēgēs erant, antequam Rōmānī advēnērunt, sed nunc duōs rēgēs habēmus, lēgātum prōcūrātōremque: lēgātus saevit in sanguinem nostrum ac prōcūrātor in bonā nostrā. ubi amīcī Rōmānīs sumus, Rōmānī iniūriās nōbīs ferunt, ubique inimīcī iniūriās ferunt. lēgātus centuriōnēs mittit, mittitque prōcūrātor servōs: nihil exceptum est illōrum cupiditāti libīdinōsīve. in proeliō fortior est quī spoliat, sed nunc hī īgnāvī Rōmānī ēripiunt domōs, abstrahunt liberōs, recipiunt virōs mīlitēs--sed Rōmānī pereunt prō patriā quam nēsciunt!"


GRAMMATICA

 

Operatives, by now you know that Genitive forms show possession (e.g. tīrōnēs Salviī, metum Rōmānōrum from your Mission and key-texts) or indicate from what group something is a part of (e.g. pars mīlitum).

 

However, the Genitive still has more secrets to share, and one of them is that you can use it with a noun + adjective phrase to describe someone or something. In this Mission, you are all inside a large house. Notice, though, that the Latin said "in aedibus māgnitudinis māgnae"; literally, "in a house of great size."

 

Did you notice the "of", that famous marker of the Genitive?

CULTURALIA

Operatives, it would be wise to research the events as they unfolded during the First Jewish-Roman War during 66-73 CE. Mission Control thinks that if you can get the king to see the darker side of Rome, you may be able to open his eyes to Salvius' plans.

Also, we apologize for the glitch. It had something to do with an architect watching too much of this.
