I messaged the seller explaining that Per Mare, Per Terras meant "by sea, by land" in Latin.

Mare "sea" as in "maritime" "mariner" "marine" "submarine" (under-sea) etc.

Terras "land" as in "terrestrial" "territory" "terrain" etc.

As for "victory or death", "victory" is Latin already. I suppose native English would be "win" "overcome" etc.

As for "death" it would be "mort-" right? "Mortuary" "mortician" etc.

I've also seen MacDonald badges in Gaelic "Air Muir, Air Tir". ]]> The Clans OC Richard https://mail.xmarksthescot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99354
