Lunes Latin: Perfacile Esse

(I’m calling this feature “Lunes Latin” because “Monday Latin” doesn’t alliterate. Work with me here.)

The Latin phrase of the week is perfacile esse: “It would be most easy.”

perfacile esse, cum virtute omnibus praestarent, totius Galliae imperio potiri.

“[Oregetorix persuaded the Helvetii that] it would be very easy, since they excelled in all valor, to acquire command of the whole of Gaul.”

from The Gallic Wars, by Julius Caesar, the Latin and English side-by-side editon, by Franz Ruedle, 2018.
