Latin word order

Latin word order is relatively free. The subject, object, and verb can come in any order; an adjective can go before or after their noun; and a genitive such as hostium "of the enemy" can also be placed before or after its noun. A common feature of Latin is hyperbaton in which a phrase is split up by other words: Sextus est Tarquinius "it is Sextus Tarquinius".
