"Per Mare, Per Terras" "Victory or Death"

[Pleater]

I think the terras terram difference is subtle - the only subtle thing about Romans seems to have been the language.

Rather like 'my bonnie lies over the ocean', the terras motto implies away in another country. Maybe suggesting widespread influence or presence.

The terram version has more the idea of right lads, off the boats and up that hill - as a means to get wherever.
