October: Roman Culture Being Found In Modern Culture


I often drive by a road called "Quorum Drive". It is right off of Belt Line, so it is very close to the school and my house. Quorum is a Latin word and its direct translation is "of which". I see this as a strange street name because when one says they are moving on or near Quorum Drive, in English, they are saying that they are moving on or near "of which drive". This part of Roman Culture in the greater Dallas area caught my eye because of its proximity to me and its rather odd meaning.
