Minerva: Florilegij latinskih izreka

Ante Romac

The most comprehensive dictionary of Latin legal sayings: a collection of around 17,000 wise sayings, proverbs and aphorisms from ancient Rome, classified into 777 terms, each marked with the corresponding Latin term. An invaluable treasury of Roman wisdo

The sayings are arranged alphabetically by key terms, with precise translations, explanations and context from Roman law, literature and philosophy. Romac, an expert in the sources of Roman law, aimed at students, lawyers and lovers of the classics: the book is not just a lexicon, but a guide through the ethical and legal principles that shape modern law. Examples: "Dura lex, sed lex" (The law is hard, but it is the law) – about the binding force of the law; "Ignorantia legis neminem excusat" (Ignorance of the law excuses no one) – about responsibility; "Pacta sunt servanda" (Agreements must be fulfilled) – about obligations.

"Minerva", named after the Roman goddess of wisdom, saves Latin pearls from oblivion, offering them in an accessible form. It is a cult among generations of lawyers, useful for essays, court hearings and general education. Romac's expertise makes it authoritative: it is not just a list, but a bridge between ancient wisdom and the present day, reminding us that law is not just written, but deeply rooted in human nature. It is recommended to all who seek concise wisdom in short, timeless words.
