Pēnsum
Grammatica
Ablative absolute
Collaudātīs mīlitibus, Caesar omnēs ad portum Itium convenīre iubet
An ablative absolute is a noun and a participle, both in the ablative, standing apart from the main construction to give the time or circumstances. Here 'Collaudātīs mīlitibus' means 'the soldiers having been praised' or 'after praising the soldiers'.
