Later on, it is characteristic of Livy's style and of the archaising tendencies of Silver Latin. ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== === Noun === opera nominative/accusative/vocative plural of opus === References === === Further reading === “opera”, in Charlton T.
