Aurirati

Aurirati is a Latin term that translates to "they have gilded" or "they have adorned with gold." It is a verb form, specifically the third-person plural perfect active indicative of the verb *aurare*, which means to gild or cover with gold. This term is primarily found in historical or classical contexts where the act of gilding was a significant artistic or decorative technique. It could refer to the gilding of statues, ornaments, buildings, or even manuscripts. The use of gold in ancient and medieval societies often signified wealth, power, and divinity, making the act of aurirati a notable process. Understanding this term requires knowledge of Latin grammar and the historical significance of gold in various cultures. The passive form, "aurati sunt," would mean "they have been gilded."
