Latin words and writing

Virtus is usually translated as manhood or valor or goodness, rather than strength. Strength would be potentia or potestas. Honor can be translated as honor or dignity or even grace.

I believe that by the 2d century A.D. the letter 'u' had crept into common useage. Before the 'u' was used, 'v' stood for both the V and U sounds. (Thus virtus would be virtvs. Btw, there was also no 'j'. Julius Caesar's name was actually given as Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar.)
