Tarpeiae rupes cognataque sanguine nobis tecta Iovis, quaeque arce sua nunc stantia linquo moenia felicis patriae, quocumque vocabit summa salus, testor, spreto discrimine iturum.
I swear by the Tarpeian rock, by the temple of Jupiter with whom I claim kindred, and by the walls of my glorious native city,a which I leave still standing with their citadel'I swear that whithersoever the safety of the state summons me, thither I will go and despise the danger.
