Bregans Flashcards
“Loquax! Anti-Loquax! Dominus advenit. Vocate servos in aream! Ego eos inspire volo” why did Mark I want to inspect the slaves? What did he tell the twins to do?
Varica wanted to inspect the slaves because Salvius was on his way. He told the twins to call the slaves into the court yard.
“Servi ad aream celeriter cucurrerunt, quod Salvium timebant.” In line 4 which 2 latin words show that the slaves were in a hurry? WHy did they hurry?
Celeriter cucurrerunt. Because they feared Salvium.
“Ubi sunt ancillae? Nullas ancillas video. ancillae domino nostro cubiculum parant, respondit Loquax. Ubi est volubilis noster? inquit varica. ego Volubilem videre non possum. Volubilis venire non potest, quod cenam parat, respondit Anti-Loquax.” In lines 8-12 why were the slave girls and Vollubilis missing from inspection?
The slave girls were preparing the masters bedroom and volubilis is preparing dinner.
“Bregans in mediis servis stabat; canem ingentem secum habebat.”
How did Bregans come to have the dog with him? “Ecce Varica! Rex Cogidubnus domino nostro hunc canem misit. Inquit bregans. “Canis ferocissimus est; bestias optime agitare potest.”
What did Bregans say about the dog?
- the king gave the dog to the master
- He said the dog was fierce, and able to hunt wild animals very well. I think
Subito viginti equites aream intraverunt. Primus erat salvius postquam ex equo desscendit, varicam salutavit”
Salvius is an important roman official. How do lines 18-19 show this? Give two examples
He rode in with twenty horses, He was in the front.
I’m not sure abt this one.
“Salvius servo nihil respondit. Bregans iterum clamavit, Salvi Salvi specta canem Salvius saeviebat, quod servus erat insolens. Servus Insolentissimus es inquit salvius”
How did salvius react in lines 27 and 29 when Bregans called out to him? why do you think Salvius called Bregans Insolentissimus?
Salvius did not respond and was in a rage.
Salvius called Bregans Insolentissimus because he though bregans was being very rude.
Bregāns ad terram dēcidit”
What happened to Bregans after Salvius hit him?
He fell to the ground
canis statim ex ōrdine ērūpit et Salvium petīvit
How did the dog nearly cause a disaster?
The dog tried to attack salvius
nonnūllī servī ex ōrdinibus ērūpērunt et canem rētrāxērunt.
Who saved the situation and what did they do?
Several slaves saved the situation by dragging the dog back
Salvius, postquam sē recēpit, gladium dēstrīnxit “rēx Cogidubnus - amīcus tuus - tibi canem dedit.”
What did salvius want to do? Why did he change his mind
Salvius wanted to kill the dog but changed his mind after learning the king gave it to him
“ita vērō! difficile est,” respondit Salvius. “sed ego tē punīre possum. illud facile est quod servus meus es.”
Did Bregans deserve to be punished?
no right answer for this so this is the end
