alike
pariter (in an equal degree, ἴσα): aeque (in an equal manner). We do not all want anything alike, aliqua re non omnes pariter or aeque egemus (Cic.): eodem modo (in the same manner): juxta (without any distinction: not in Cic., Caes. or Nep.: common in Liv. and Sall.). Good and bad alike, juxta boni et mali; juxta boni malique, Sall. (So: juxta obsidentes obsessosque, Liv.; hiemem et aestatem juxta pati, Sall.; plebi patribusque juxta carus, Sall., etc.): tamquam (as well as). This is the only cause in which all think alike, haec sola est causa, in qua omnessentirent unum atque idem, Cic. (Suet., idemque et unum sentire).
Used adjectively, similis, consimilis, assimilis: geminus (exactly alike). (The words are found in this connection and order), similis et geminus: exactly alike, geminus et simillimus (in anything, aliqua re): simillimus et maxime geminus: to be alike, similes esse (in face, facie): to make things alike, *hanc rem ad similitudinem illius lingere: fingere, assimilare banc rem in speciem illius, Tac. Vid: LIKE.
