The magic square "Sator"

Today surfing the web math, comes out this article that intrigues me. And to think that I started looking for a quote from the math and found myself with a square enigmatic and palindrome of approximately two thousand years! To return to the square, the message that is written on the graffiti found on a column of the Big Gym of Pompeii is as follows: "Sator arepo Rotas Tenet work. "Reading the sentence to the contrary, we find that a sentence is a palindrome, meaning it can be read from right to left and vice versa. What makes it so special is that the magic square, is the fact that the 5 words can be read both vertically and horizontally! All this makes it special, especially if we try to translate literally the words of the square, with results like these.

God (satori, the creator) - dominates and rules (TENET) - the works of creation (ROTAS OPERA) and what the earth produces (AREP, plow).
The Sower (satori) in his chariot (AREP is the Celtic word whose meaning is similar to a truck) directs (TENET) with expertise (OPERA) wheels (ROTAS here to mean the wheels are the orbits of celestial bodies).

For all the insights, I refer to the article published on the website from which FIVE BASIC I got the inspiration for this post. Very interesting site for fans of puzzles and math.
