[Primvs Pavlvs]

I am planning on making a sign that reads "Hadrian's Gate". I would like to know how to properly inscribe this in proper Roman script.

Thanks!

What date would the sign be from? Will it be nicely done or scrawled? Answer those questions and someone who knows more about Roman scripts can probably tell you what you need. The Latin would be Porta Hadriani before any abbreviations.

I had to build a gate, to prevent my two year old from escaping :wink: Since his name is Hadrian, I would like to make a sign to hang on "his" gate.

Porta Hadriani is correct Latin, but this is the modern script. If you want to inscribe it the old way you should take: "PORTA HADRIANI". Times new roman is a nice type.

Well, there's always "Non Exite"

Well, there's always "Non Exite"

Exite is a form of the imperativus pluralis; you must only use this if your "command" refers to more than one person. E.g. the soldiers of a centuria. If the order refers to one person, you must use the imperativus singularis: exi. "My 2 year old" is one person, so you must use the imperativus singularis in this case. Non is correct I think, so we will get: non exi. If you want to have a more friendly latin command, you could also use "Ne exeas". It`s the coniunctivus and is used for incentives. Non exi is the strongest here.
