SPQR: SenÄtus Populusque RÅmÄnus. In Latin, SenÄtus is a nominative singular noun meaning Senate. Populusque is compounded from the nominative noun Populus, the People, and -que, an enclitic particle meaning and which connects the two nominative nouns. The last word, RÅmÄnus (Roman) is an adjective modifying the whole of SenÄtus Populusque: the Roman Senate and People, taken as a whole.
