October 11th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Familiam cura!"
"Familiam cura!"
"Care for your household!" It is fair, I think, to translate this by the modern cognate (:Care for your family!"), but the Latin familia was much broader than the English "family" - it really translates more accurately as "household." From the Monostichs of Dionysius Cato
a.d. V Idus Octobres anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXXVI
