使用する際の注意点

• Venetus is used for the Blues faction from the 1st century AD, but general use of venetus as a color term is not attested until considerably into Late Latin centuries later. It is said to be the color of seawater in general use by that time, and on one occasion is found as a gloss for the fashion color term callainus (“turquoise”). However, all known depictions of the Blues' charioteers show them clad in pure shades of blue with no greenishness to them. Possibly the word was not unlike modern English cyan and meant at once a blue-green color and an azure blue color. It is on one occasion in the Historia Augusta found to contrast with vitreus.
• As has already been noted, the color term, excepting the connection to the charioteer faction, is otherwise absent from Classical Latin.
