Your Favorite Roman Latin Quotes Maxims Mottos Sayings ?
#27
Mine favorite is :

ALEA IACTA EST !

– Plutarch, 'Life of Pompey, Ch. 60'


It is what Julius Caesar is reported to have said on January 10, 49 BC as he led his army across the River Rubicon in northern Italy. With this step, he entered Italy at the head of his army in defiance of the Roman Senate and began his long civil war against Pompey and the Optimates.
ALEA IACTA EST !
