History & Background (Dossier)

As a language, Latin developed during the late Bronze age of Ancient Terra in the land of Latium, a cultural region found in the Mediterranean region of Old Terra's Eurasian continent. A maritime empire based around the City of "Roma" (which was located in Latium) eventually arose that later dominated much of the Old European region of Terra. Even after this "Roman Empire" had fallen and Latin had ceased to be used as a day-to-day language, it survived as a language of lore, learning, and culture among the polities that arose afterward out of its ashes, and became the root of (or otherwise influenced) many of the later languages that evolved in Terra's Old European region.
