     Polliceor hoc vōbīs, Patrēs Cōnscrīptī: tantam in nōbīs cōnsulibus fore dīligentiam, tantam in vōbīs auctōritātem, tantam in equitibus Rōmānīs virtūtem, tantam in omnibus bonīs cōnsēnsiōnem, ut Catilīnae profectiōne omnia patefacta, inlūstrāta, oppressa, vindicāta esse videātis.

     I promise you this, Conscript Fathers: there will be so much diligence in us, the consuls, so much authority in you, so much courage in the Roman knights, and so much agreement among all good men, that by the departure of Catiline you may see everything be revealed, explained, suppressed — and avenged.

   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.33:

     Tantae mōlis erat Rōmānam condere gentem.

     Of such great effort was it to found the Roman people.
     or, It was so great a burden to found the Roman race.
     (The gods conspire and humans suffer to found what will become an empire; i.e., so great the effort, so great the achievement.)

使用する際の注意点

• Being naturally an adjective, tantus was then used substantively as tantum (frequently with genitive) to mean "so much of", "so many of"; as tantī (pretiī) to mean "so high (a price)" [called the genitive of indefinite value]; adverbially as tantum to mean "so much", "to such degree" (cf. tam); as tantō to mean "by so much". For all these quantus has its coordinate functions.
