    Gravitas

    (from Latin) is a quality of substance or depth of personality.

    Gravitas (specifically dignity, seriousness, and duty) is one of the several virtues that ancient Roman society expected men to possess, along with pietas, dignitas, and iustitia.

    "Gravitas" should not be confused with "gravity" not in the sense of importance, although they have a common etymology, coming from the Latin for weightiness.


    Gravitas include: - Discipline - Strength - Loyalty - Power [Army] - Usefulness - Steadiness

    Stipple v. t. 1. to engrave by means of dots and flicks. 2. To make by small short touches (as of paint or ink) that together produce an even or softly graded shadow.

    "Gunpowder residue stippled the entrance wounds."

    OK, I've been reading too many murder mysteries
