[Facts] beatus did describe a fruitful land
Hi Andy!I remember Latin lessons where I have been told that beatus or beata was used to describe good land that brought fruit. It was not used to describe a happy person. Therefore I don't think the Romans used either beatus or beata as first names but I am not sure about it. I do not know about Jesus' Beatitudes. The thought however is interesting.
