Erecting Statues and Portraits in Public Places

Notes

1. §43.9.2.prConcedi solet, ut — The impersonal verb solet (it is customary) is combined with the passive infinitive concedi (to be allowed), and is followed by the ut-clause with the subjunctive ponantur, which functions as the logical subject.
2. §43.9.2.prquae ornamenta rei publicae sunt futurae — The relative pronoun quae agrees with its antecedents imagines et statuae (feminine plural). Although the predicate noun ornamenta is neuter plural, the participle in the active periphrastic future sunt futurae agrees in gender and number with the subject quae (feminine plural). rei publicae functions as a dative of reference or possessive genitive.
