I am looking for a book in Latin (Middle Ages or a bit afterwards) about weapons, armours, and other military equipment. Does anyone know one which can be downloaded?

Hi all,
I am currently studying Latin and loving it! I've been looking through the different publications on Latin especially Latin for beginners and have understood most of it but just wondering how I translate "never let your memories be greater than your dreams" ??

Valete,

Hey,

I am familiar with Greek and am starting to learn Latin (mainly ecclesiastical). I am looking for a Latin to Greek dictionary so that I can reinforce both languages as I go along.

If anyone could pint me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Benjamin.

Hello!

I have a question entirely unrelated to Latin/Greek. I'm regularly reading about astronomy, and every time I encounter certain numbers, I am wondering how to properly express them in English. Can anyone help me and spell them out for me? It's been bothering me for ages not knowing how to pronounce such numbers.

Examples for numbers (scientific notation):

• 1.5 x 10^-2 W/kg
• 2 x 10^3 W/kg
• 4 x 10^26 W
• 2 x 10^-12 ...
