Outside the tent the sentries were exchanging their challenges. It was the end of the second watch of the night. Midnight. "It is late, gentlemen," said Pompeius. "I believe that I have given my orders. Remember our watch word for to-morrow." "Hercules Invictus!" shouted one and all. "Unconquerable' we shall be, I trust," continued the commander-in-chief.
There is a serene good humor which plays about George Champion's broad face, which shows the consciousness of this power, and lights up his honest blue eyes with a magnanimous calm. He is invictus. Even when a cub there was no beating this lion. They were obliged to drag off the boy, and Frank, with admiration and regard for him, prophesied the great things he would do.
His coins bore on the one side the letters of the name of Christ, on the other the figure of the sun-god, and the inscription Sol invictus. Of course these inconsistencies may be referred also to policy and accommodation to the toleration edict of 313.
"Watch!" says Sol Invictus; "I have sent my man to him." It was Julian, "the Dragon, the Apostate, the Great Mind"; I thank thee, Gregory of Nazianzus, for teaching me that word! and the one that came to him there in Cappadocia was Maximus of Smyrna, Iamblichus' disciple. His story has been told and re-told; I expect you know it fairly well.
He couldn't understand his father's state of mind. He had now a positive intuition that Sir Frederick would recover in the manner of a gentleman whose motto was Invictus; an infinite assurance was conveyed by that tilted faun-like smile.

There is, however, extant a collection of magic formulae against various ailments in which pagan gods appear: Hercules and Juno Regina, Juno and Jupiter, the nymphs, Luna Jovis filia, Sol invictus.
Very early up, and, hearing that the Duke of York, our Lord High admiral, would go on board to-day, Mr. Pickering and I took waggon for Scheveling. His epitaph, is concluded thus: "Tandem Bello Anglico tantum non victor, certe invictus, vivere et vincere desiit." There is a sea-fight cut in marble, with the smoake, the best expressed that ever I saw in my life.
"Mr. Vivian has come, Sophronia, according to your directions." Madame uttered a second snort, brought her feet to the floor, arranged her face in a dignified expression with one fair hand, breathed heavily, and finally bowed to the Prophet with majestic reserve and remarked, with the professional click, "I was immersed in thought and did not perceive your entrance. Mens invictus manetur.
First big-ship command I had was the old Invictus, 374, and she was based on Aditya for four years, and I'd sooner have spent that time in orbit around Niffelheim." Now Paul remembered who he was; old Admiral now Prince-Counselor Gaklar. He and Prince-Counselor Dorflay would get along famously. "No, nothing of the sort.
"Dia Minerva, semol autem tu invictus Apollo Arquitenens Latonius." His object in quoting these is to show that they were copied by Virgil. A passage in Propertius has been supposed to refer to him, "Splendidaque a docto fama refulget avo," where he would presumably be the grandfather of that Hostia whom under the name of Cynthia so many of Propertius's poems celebrate.
