of ancestral gods Explanation: leaving 'aux' out, I can only say that 'lares' in latin are the ancestral gods who were supposed to protect the family. This is genitive plural, 'larum', while 'que' means 'as well'. Hence, it would mean 'of the ancestral gods as well', 'and of the ancestral fathers'. I am really sorry I can't be of more help with aux; I wonder whether there was a typo/mistake of some sort, as 'aux' seems more like French than Latin. I will keep looking but I fear I can promise nothing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 11 mins (2005-03-25 14:50:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- for a more detailed reference to Lares, as \'Roman guardian spirits of house and fields\', see for example http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/lares.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 11 mins (2005-03-25 14:50:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- for a more detailed reference to Lares, as \'Roman guardian spirits of house and fields\', see for example http://www.pantheon.org/articles/l/lares.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 12 mins (2005-03-25 14:51:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the repetition! |
