Usage notes

edit

Draco usually connoted larger sorts of snakes in Classical usage, particularly those which seemed exotic to the Romans. One traditional rule gives the distinction among the various Latin synonyms as anguis being a water snake; dracō being a "temple" snake, the sort of large, exotic snake associated with the guardianship of temples; and serpēns being a common terrestrial snake. This rule is not universally credited, however.[2]
