The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It developed around 75 BC from Old Latin, and developed by the 3rd century AD into Late Latin.
- In some later periods, the former was regarded as good or proper Latin, while the latter was seen as debased, degenerate, or corrupted.
- The word Latin is now understood by default to mean "Classical Latin", for example, modern Latin textbooks almost exclusively teach Classical Latin.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Classical Latin article was read about 95,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
