What does nam post mortem nihil est mean?
Dear Anonymous,
It means: For after death there is nothing.
Not true, to my way of thinking. But cuique suum (to each his own).
The rest of the quote is often: et ipsa mors nihil = and death itself is nothing.
Hope this helps, and thanks for asking a Latin teacher.
Sincerely,
John
