Help with a Latin phrase?

2016-11-18 3:28 pm
Hi. I want to make some T-shirts as Xmas presents that have Caesar s portrait and either "Vini, vidi, vinci and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" or "I conquered Britain and all I got was this lousy T-shirt." I ve tried three different on-line translators and received three different answers, and my own grasp of Classic Latin is far too shaky. And yes, I realize T-shirt can t be translated, but I think just leaving it in English would be part of the joke.

First part - either Veni vidi vici OR Brittaniam vici

Second part - et una res quam concepi haec tunica levis.

Tunica is about as close as you can get to T-shirt - it's a short-sleeved undergarment worn under a toga.

Levis = trivial, trifling. Lousy (pediculosa) had a literal meaning in Latin

Thus why I said my Latin is shaky! ;)
