High School Latin was 55 years ago, but here goes.... nunquam is "no one", and dormio is "to sleep". Ergo, "no one sleeps". It was probably the slogan on a Roman brothel door. cheers, Stan Kurzet TC X 2

Checking with my son, Todd, who takes Latin in high school, the translation is: "never fall asleep" Craig Seabrook mrbadger wrote:
