CULTURE, VIRTUE, HONOUR

CVLTVS is not "cult". It is the Latin cultus, from colere: to till, to tend, to train. It is culture: what you tend every day. VIRTVS, from vir, was courage proven under pressure. HONOR is what that courage earns. Rome raised temples to Honos and Virtus side by side outside the Porta Capena. Hang it where you train, where you work, or where you start the day.

THE CREST

The horned faun. Faunus was one of Rome's oldest gods, spirit of the wild woods beyond the farmed field, later merged with the horned Greek Pan. Pan's gift was terror: the sudden, blind fear that breaks a line, and the word panic carries his name. Here the face is the god angered.

The two griffins. Lion's body, eagle's head and wings. The Greeks gave them to Apollo and to Nemesis, and Rome carried Nemesis into the arena as the patron of gladiators; the Thraex gladiator's helmet crest ended in a griffin's head.

The gladius. Beneath the banner, the mark of Iron Imperium: the short sword of the legion with Jupiter's thunderbolt running down the blade. The thunder powers the arm; the sword executes the will.

What is on the canvas:

  • IRON IMPERIVM: across the top
  • Horned faun mask: the angered face of Faunus and Pan
  • Two griffins: guardians of Apollo and Nemesis
  • CVLTVS HONOR VIRTVS: on the banner beneath the mask
  • Iron Imperium gladius: at the foot

Designed by Raf The Might, working out of the heavy metal underground rather than a stock graphics library. The full story of every symbol is on the CVLTVS HONOR VIRTVS Tee.

What does CVLTVS HONOR VIRTVS mean?
Culture, honour, virtue. CVLTVS is the Latin cultus, what you tend and train every day; it is the root of "culture", not "cult". VIRTVS is courage, HONOR is what it earns. The V replaces U as on Roman inscriptions.

How long until it arrives?
Every canvas is made to order. Allow 3–10 business days depending on region.

MADE TO ORDER. NEVER IN BULK.

Your canvas is printed and stretched the moment you order it. Nothing sits in a warehouse, nothing is overproduced, nothing is destroyed unsold. That is why it takes a little longer to reach you, and why we would rather it did. Thank you for making a thoughtful purchasing decision.

TACTICAL PAIRING
