Latin to English translation

Per Ardua Ad Victorium
should be
Per Ardua Ad Victoriam

Ardua means "difficult things", but "hard work" is a good translation.

I agree with George, whose avatar is looking speedier than ever.

Here in the UK, the Royal Air Force (RAF) has the motto "per ardua ad astra" - by hard work to the stars!

The RAF moto looks like it reads "Per Ardva Ad Astra"
Is it just the font that makes it look like a 'v' instead of an 'u' ?

The romans made no distinction between the letters 'u' and 'v' - whenever capitals were required they would always 'V':

i.e. - SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS (SPQR - The Senate and People of Rome)

Classical latin pronounced the letter 'V/u' as a 'W' when followe by a vowel and as a 'U' when followed by a consonant.

Hence the Caesarian saying - Veni, Vidi, Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) would have been pronounced, Wehnee, Weedee, Weekee.

The Latin alphabet had no U or J. The person we know as Julius Caesar was actually Ivlivus Caesar.
