Invictus

By Crusader1307

A term and phrase) dating to at least 3rd Century BC Rome – ‘’Invictus’’ means ‘’Unconquered or Invincible’’. While most Historians assign the term to The Roman Military as  ‘’Heroic Salutation’’, it actually was first used as a form of Religious Greeting, used in prayer – and only then for the Primary Gods and Goddesses of Rome (in Their perpetual protection of The City and State). Only Temple Priests and an Emperor could invoke ‘’Invictus’’. The term would later be found on many minted coins of Ancient Rome, and is often seen as an early example of the similar term ‘’In God We Trust’’.
