scēptrum n (genitive scēptrī); second declension

1. sceptre (royal staff, symbol of authority)
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.56–57:

     [...] celsā sedet Aeolus arce
     scēptra tenēns, mollitque animōs et temperat īrās.

     [King] Aeolus sits in his high citadel, holding his scepter, and [he is] soothing the passions [of the winds] and tempering their angry spirits.
