I need to know the latin translation for the famous Caesar saying "Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war." Any help would be appreciated as Google transate seems to have failed.

Cheers :D:D

Just explaining why there isn't a direct translation that's all.

The closest from Latin literature would be something along the lines of:

"Popularetur, praedam perdere omnia!"
 
As Mr B said, Shakey used the phrase and it was originally French.

Closest Latin meaning is:


“Omnia pervastate, expilate ac diripite!”

"Devastate, plunder and destroy everything!"

So, there is no direct translation?

I think Dolph knows a lot of latin?

Ah, I remember the Cornelii family well. Going on their travels and stopping in inns. Memories.

Ellior has a pretty good literal translation there with correct grammar/conjugation/etc.
 
I soo wish my school did Latin :(. My friend's school did it, but mine didn't :mad:.

As such I only know two bits of Latin, amor vincit omnia and verbum tuum veritas.
