Questionhow so u write november 2,2004 in latin and november 7 ,2004 and november 15,2004?
AnswerHello,
“november 2, 2004” is:
“Postridie Kalendas Novembres anno bis millesimo quarto post Christum natum”
Or:
"Ante diem quartum Nonas Novembres anno bis millesimo quarto post Christum natum”
This in full, but usually these expressions were abbreviated as follows:
POSTRID. KAL. NOV. MMIV p.Chr.n.
Or:
A.D. IV NON. NOV. MMIV p.Chr.n.(abbreviated)
______________________________________
“november 7 , 2004” is :
“Ante diem septimum Idus Novembres anno bis millesimo quarto post Christum natum” (in full)
“A.D. VII ID. NOV. MMIV p.Chr.n. (abbreviated)
_________________________________________________
“november 15, 2004”
“Ante diem decimum septimum Kalendas Decembres anno bis millesimo quarto post Christum natum” (in full)
“A.D. XVII KAL. DEC. MMIV p.Chr.n.(abbreviated)
Best regards
Maria
