<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 270422, member: 6370&quot;]anyone want to give this a try? I am attempting to get an exact translation of this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/piusixrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>EPISCOPIS EX ORBE UNIVERSO QUI APOSTOLICAE SEDIS IURIBUS PROPUGNATIS RE ROMANA UBIQUE DEFENSA PII IX PONT MAX DESIDERIO OBSEQUUTI EIDE M VI ID IUN AN MDCCCLXII CAELESTES HONORES SANCTIS NOVENSILIBUS DECERNENTI ADFUERE CIVES ROMANI PATRIBUS ET ADSERTORIBUS CATHOLICI NOMINIS</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have started to but I am having trouble and thought I would throw this out there and see if someone knows enough more modern latin to translate better and let me know what a few of these words I am having trouble with are.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know it is refering to pope Pius IX and 1862. This is a medal refering to the cannonization of the 26 martyrs of japan and Michael de Sanctis.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is what I have managed to cobble together...I took latin but some of these words I cannot figure out, its not quite the same type of latin I studied:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>Bishop of entire world who Apostolic See (justice?) PROPUGNATIS (fight?) in Rome defend Pius IX Pontifus Maximus wish for indulgence EIDE? M? 6 ID IUN AN 1862 Heavenly Honors of the Saints NOVENSILIBUS determines ADFUERE state? Roman homeland and ADSERTORIBUS Catholics Name?</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know...needs work...any help cleaning this up would be most welcome. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.cachecoins.org/piusix.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
