nusquam locī - Roma Aeterna XLVII Lines 188–190

Post by wilhelmjohnson »

Sed eam mulierem tunc ā Tarquiniō dīgressam posteā nusquam locī vīsam cōnstitit.

"But it is established that this woman, then departed from Tarquinius, afterwards was seen nowhere."

I'm having trouble translating nusquam locī in a way that doesn't sound awkward in the way "nowhere of place" does. Is this simply Latin idiom for saying nowhere?

Georges agrees with you, Bedwere: nūsquam locī, Gell.—n. gentium, nirgends in der Welt, Ter.
