This e-text includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding. The most common are:

ὠκύπτερος	Greek, usually in references to word derivation
ĀĒĪŌŪ āēīōūȳ	letters with macron or “long” mark
ĂĬŎŬ ăĕĭŏŭ	letters with breve or “short” mark
√ ∴	“root” and “therefore” symbols

If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font.

All brackets [ ] and braces { } are in the original.

‘Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento;

Hae tibi’erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem.

Parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos.’

Vergil, Aeneid, vi. 851 3

‘Fecisti patriam diversis gentibus unam,

Profuit iniustis te dominante capi.

Dumque offers victis proprii consortia iuris,

Urbem fecisti quod prius orbis erat.’

Rutilius, i. 63-6
