--Names under images are written in English.
--Around the images of these historical icons are timeless and famous inscriptions in Latin like
1--Memento mori
means- 'Remember
that thou art a man-you are mortal. During the Roman Triumphs, people tried to touch victorious
generals and Caesars. Their bodyguards would push them of saying:”Memento Mori”
– remember that you are (still)mortal (and he is not any more). That way that
wanted to glorify their leaders and point out that they achieved the
Immortality… Also, at a same time, these Emperors and generals would have a
person sitting next to them. Once a while, during the celebration that is given
to this heroic figure this person/servant will whisper on emperors/general’s
ear: Memento Mori- Remember you are immortal too (remember you are not a god) J.
2--fluctuat nec mergitur
This Latin proverb is of Unknown origin. It translates as: "It is tossed by the waves but it does not sink." It
refers to this poster very well and gives a message that people on the poster
achieved immortality with deeds and accomplishments during their lives.
3--Historia
est vitae magistra.
This famous Latin Proverb translates
as: "History
is the teacher of life.”
4--Nos Morituri te Salutant
This
is another famous phrase used by the gladiators who are about to undergo their
punishment . They hailed Cesar with the saying: “Nos Morituri te Salutant”.
This translates – “We, who are about
to die, salute you”…. This Latin inscription also fits well on the
poster because it points at the immortality of the deeds that these 430 people
left for the story of the humanity.
5- -Respice, Adspice, Prospice
“Examine the past, examine the present, examine the future or Look to the past, the present, the future”…
6--Ad Honorem
Translates:
“For the honour”
7-Ad
Infinitum
It means: Going
on forever. Used to designate a property which repeats in all cases in
mathematical proof. Also used in philosophical contexts to mean "repeating in all cases."
For example, the claim of the existence of a creator of the universe would
require an explanation of the creator's creation, and so on ad infinitum.
8--Credite Posteri
This
phrase was used by Horace and it translates: “Believe it, future generations”.
9-Nuli Secundus/Nuli Secunda
It

(female)
10-Tempus
Fugit
This
Latin phrase simply translates as: “Time
Flies”

It's addicting to look, find, and recognize people that are on it. It makes you think about them... who they are, what they did for the humanity, and how they correlate with others on the poster. I find myself doing the same, over and over again :).
