1704 B. Kennett Rom. Antiq. (ed. 3) ii. iii. 269 The Naumachiæ of Claudius which he presented on the Fucine Lake before he drain'd it, deserve to be particularly mention'd, not more for the greatness of the Show, than for the Behaviour of the Emperour: who when the Combatants pass'd before him with so melancholy a Greeting as, Ave imperator, morituri te salutant, return'd in Answer, Avete vos.

1869 S. R. Hole Bk. Roses i. 6 They may say as they enter the arena, with the gladiators of old to the emperor..Morituri te salutant.
