Fiercest wolf pack

[Lupus]

How to say this phrase please?

 

[AoM]

acerrimum agmen luporum - the fiercest pack of wolves
agmen acerrimorum luporum - a pack of the fiercest wolves

 

[Dantius]

I think "acerrimus grex" might be better, because agmen most commonly has a military usage as a marching formation for an army.

 

[AoM]

I mentioned this bit from Statius in an earlier thread:

rabidi sic agmine multo
sub noctem coiere lupi,

I think agmen better captures the predatory nature of a wolf pack than grex, but I'm not against the latter.

 

[Matthaeus]

I was thinking saevissimus.

 

[AoM]

Ah yes, that too. I was surprised to see that ferus has no superlative.

 

[Lupus]

Hello everyone, I have a question how to say wolf pack in latin. I have found a lot of words for group, but I have not found a specific word for pack. So if you can someone help me, I would be grateful. Thank you

Hello,
perhaps "grex luporum".

 

[AoM]

Forget about this thread?

 

[Bestiola]

Forget about this thread?

lol I never saw that thread.

Speaking of wolf packs, Silius Italicus also has "turba luporum"...

 

[AoM]

Oh, that was for Lupus.
