Latinarum

Latinarum is a term that appears in Latin-language texts and in modern speculative contexts. It is not the name of a single, universally recognized political entity in the real world. Instead, it is encountered in two main realms: classical Latin usage and fiction or experimental history.

In classical Latin, Latinarum is a genitive plural form used to indicate belonging or relation to Latins. It occurs in inscriptions and literary phrases where a group, place, or property is described as being of or belonging to the Latins; translations typically render it as "of the Latins" or "the Latins’." The precise sense depends on the governing noun.

In fiction and speculative contexts, Latinarum is frequently used as the name of a Latin-inspired polity, cultural sphere, or regional association. Works employing Latinarum often emphasize continuity with Latin linguistic and legal traditions while situating the entity in alternate history, fantasy, or science fiction settings. Use varies by author, ranging from a ceremonial republic to a modern-nations federation with Latin heritage as a unifying theme.
