What does Gaudia Certaminis mean?

​

'Gaudia Certaminis' is a Latin phrase meaning 'The Joy of Battle'.

​

“During the whole of that long period the barbarian warriors, whose highest and almost only enjoyment was the strife of battle, the gaudia certaminis, [continued] to take peace from the earth and kill one another.”

The Revelation of Saint John Explained, Henry William Lovett, 1838

​

It was the phrase apparently used by Atilla the Hun to encourage his troops before the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in AD 451.

​

Anyhow, I thought it was a good name for a channel devoted to action RPGs.
