Nec Me Mea Fallit imago

Mercatus Traiani!

     Today was Mercatus Traiani! Everyone had a blast because we were able to finally present our projects to our friends and faculty! For an hour and a half, everyone spoke in solely Latin to sell and buy goods and services from other provinces. This was a lot of fun and everyone was happy that they could actually speak more Latin than they originally thought!
