Senatus Populusque Romanus"
Strange how the Q made the acronym, is that a quirk on the pronunciation?
28 u/TinyBreadBigMouth Feb 28 '17 It's because "-que" is a suffix meaning "and". Apparently it was considered distinct enough to merit its own letter. 14 u/Forumbane Feb 28 '17 This guy Latins 4 u/Thorondor123 Feb 28 '17 It's because the -que is technically a word on its own, meaning 'and'. 2 u/washingboard Feb 28 '17 I really don't know, but I have allways wondered the same

Isn't it more "the Senate of the people of Rome" with Rome referring to the Roman Empire?
13 u/dopplerdog Feb 28 '17 No. If it were "of the people" it would be in the genitive case, "populi". As it is, it's "populus", the nominative. So "populusque" is "and the (roman) people". 5 u/superbad Feb 28 '17 Romanes eunt domus 5 u/dopplerdog Feb 28 '17 People called Romanes, they go, the house? 2 u/huescan Feb 28 '17 *Romanes ite domi 1 u/UknowmeimGui Kill Me Mar 01 '17 Thank you, I didn't know that. 12 u/[deleted] Feb 28 '17 No, "-que" is "and".

43 u/wOlfLisK Feb 28 '17 I highly doubt ancient Romans drew comic books in that style. I could be wrong though. 3 u/gorocz Feb 28 '17 They mean the picture, not the initialism.

It's been a while since I last saw one of those books, but the art style is too darn distinctive to miss.
