February 23rd, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Acta est fabula."
"Acta est fabula.
"The story is finished," or "the play is finished," "the drama has been acted out," with the sense of "it's all over" - rather like English "it's curtains!" This is the Latin given for the Greek allegedly quoted by the Emperor Augustus as he was dying.
a.d. VII Kalendas Martias anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXXVI
