Et facere et pati fortia Romanum est : ウィキペディア英語版 | Et facere et pati fortia Romanum est
''Et facere et pati fortia Romanum est'' is a Latin phrase meaning "Acting and suffering bravely is the attribute of a Roman." Its comes from Livy's ''Ab Urbe condita'' 2, 12, 9. ==Origin== According to legend, a certain Mucius Cordus attempted to kill an Etruscan king Lars Porsena, who was beleaguering Rome. When the Etruscans caught him, he said “''Romanus sum civis''” (''I am a Roman citizen''). In order to prove his audacity, he held his right hand into fire. In this way, he is assumed to have got his byname “''Scaevola''” (''The “left-hand”''). Porsena was so impressed by that, that he gave up the besiegement of Rome. In this way Mucius Cordus became an example for a brave and audacious Roman burgess. A similar phrase, for example, is Civis Romanus sum.
