3 Ave, Caesar, Imperator, moritūri te salūtant

Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant

Hail, Caesar, emperor, those who are about to die greet you.

Greetings from Roman gladiators addressed to the emperor.

It is attested by the Roman historian Suetonius, who says that the gladiators who went to the sea battle arranged by him on Lake Fuka ("Divine Claudius", 21) were supposed to greet the Emperor Claudius in this way.

The public is generally inclined to regard Switzerland as an impregnable country, and to equate the army invading there with those Roman gladiators whose parting exclamation, "," has become so widely known. (F. Engels, Mountain war before and now.)

[Elena Viktorovna] quietly, as if even shyly, answered: in the old days people lived more cheerfully and did not know any prejudices. Then, it seems to me, I would be in place and would live a full life. Oh, ancient Rome! No one understood her, except Ryazanov, who, without looking at her, slowly uttered in his velvety actor's voice the classic, well-known Latin phrase: Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant. (A. I. Kuprin, Yama.)

Bukholtsev looked attentively at Simokhotov. “My dear friends,” he continued, “at this moment you can believe me, before you is doomed to death. How do you say it in Latin? I'm bad at this. - Moriturus, - prompted Bukholtsev. “Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant,” added the Oriental, a philologist by profession. (P. P. Gnedich, Seekers.)

You ended your letter with pomp: "Morituri te salutant!" We are all morituri, because none of us can say to ourselves: naturus sum. [ Instead of nasciturus sum - "I have to be born." - auth. ] (A. P. Chekhov - A. S. Suvorin, December 8, 1892.)

A sad, depressing impression remains with us after reading Mr. Kasprowicz's peasant poems. After all, this is morituri nos salutant. (Ivan Franko, From the field of science and literature.)

I still see him - [Napoleon] on horseback, I see those immortal eyes on the marble face of the emperor, looking with fatal calm at the passing guards regiments - at that time he sent them to Russia, and all the old grenadiers looked at him so reasonably - severely, with such terrible devotion, with such proud readiness for death: te, Caesar, morituri salutant. (Heinrich Heine, English Fragments.)

My room is filled with the roar of chariots, the sound of trumpets, the neighing of horses and the noise of troops. The windows are trembling, my ears are ringing, my heart is pounding, I will now shout: Ave, Caesar, imperator. (Romain Rolland, Cola Breugnon.)

□ The death of an obsolete world will seize us too, it is impossible to save ourselves, our historical lungs cannot breathe air other than the infected one, we are drawn with it into inevitable death; it is legal, necessary, we feel that we will soon be no longer needed; but disappearing with it, but feeling such a need that bound us, we will inflict even the most evil blows on it and, perishing in defeat and chaos, we will joyfully greet the new world - the world is not ours - with our "The dying greet you, Caesar." (AI Herzen, Letters from France and Italy.)

In Latin, this phrase is known as "Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant" - Long live Caesar, those who are about to die greet you.

The Roman historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquilla in his works ("Life of the Twelve Caesars", "Divine Claudius", 21), writes that under the emperor Claudius (lat. Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 10 BC - 54 years) these with words he was greeted by gladiators going to the arena.

Examples

(1883 - 1923)

"The Adventures of the Good Soldier Schweik" (1923, translated by P.G. Bogatyrev (1893 - 1971)), part 2, ch. 2:

“He was deprived of his freedom, but words of boundless devotion to the emperor pour from his lips. "Morituri te salutant, caesar! - Going to death, you are welcomed, Caesar."

(1860 - 1904)

"You ended your letter with pomp: "Morituri te salutant!" We are all morituri, because none of us can say to ourselves: naturus sum."

Suetonius Gaius Tranquillus (c. 75 - 160 AD)

"The Life of the Twelve Caesars" (Book 5 "The Divine Claudius") - About Emperor Claudius (10-54):

"Even before the descent of Fuqing Lake, he staged a naval battle on it. But when the soldiers shouted to him:" Hello, emperor, those who are about to die greet you!"- he answered them:" Or maybe not "- and, seeing a pardon in these words, they all refused to fight. Claudius hesitated for a long time whether to deal with them with fire and sword, but then he jumped up and, hobbled disgustingly, ran along coast with threats and persuasion, until he forced them to go to battle.

There is only one art - the art of living well and dying well.

Main characters

Publius Aurelius Statius, roman senator

Castor and Paris Freedmen of Publius Aurelius

Pomponius and Titus Servilius Friends of Publius Aurelius

Sergei Mavrik, advocate

Sergius, Maurice's sister

Nissa, mime theater actress

Flaminia, matron hiding from everyone

Aufidius, lanista, manager of a gladiatorial school

Chelidon, the best gladiator Aufidius

Turii, Chelidon's friend

Heliodor, Sicilian gladiator

gallic, Celtic gladiator

Hercules, Sarmatian gladiator

Arduino, british gladiator woman

Square, opponent of Chelidon

Just look how Chelidon will fight! Servilius pleaded with his old friend.

Listen, Titus, I'm bored, - objected Aurelius. “I don’t want to spend hours looking at the same sight: death. And besides, the smell of blood makes me sick! He grimaced, getting up and intending to leave.

Servilius did not know what to say. The smell was really felt even here, on the highest steps, it could not be drowned out by either the incense horns or the ambergris sticks that the matrons brought to their noses.

Now the British are here, and then the winner will come out, the best of the best. Claudius Caesar may be offended if you leave now. You know very well how much money he spent on organizing these fights! Tit tried to convince his friend.

Resigned, Aurelius reluctantly sank into his seat, determined to stay.

Those who are about to die greet you! But who is forcing these madmen to go to their deaths? Many, even without being slaves, repeatedly renewed their contract with the circus in order to have the privilege of risking their lives daily in exchange for a bag of money.

The craft, like many others, is understandable, but the senator could not suppress his liveliest sympathy for animals ... But half the time allotted for gladiator fights had not yet passed, he thought with chagrin and was glad for a short break for a light breakfast.

While the slaves were serving refreshing drinks, Aurelius decided to please the eye, looking at the matrons in exquisite, barely covering their nudity, a spectacle for him definitely more preferable than battles in the arena.

Aurelius dear! - the famous courtesan greeted him. - Why don't you look at me anymore?

I'll take a look, Cynthia, - the patrician lied, believing that the services of the hetaera did not correspond to their excessively high price.

Noble Statius, I was told that you do not like gladiator fights, - the senator, who was sitting next to him, turned to him. “However, I wonder if it is possible for such a person as you to be completely alien to the spirit of competition. The thumb is always up,” he went on, shaking his head in disapproval. - If it were your will, I would have mercy on everyone!
