he's actually got a very broad range of traits if you look closely! for example, he's fidus, and also... [squinting at the smeared writing on the back of my hand] i think this says fidus again
i had a Latin teacher who mentioned in passing that he wrote his entire thesis on Achates's character and I regret not asking how that worked out to this day

"novam cui condere Iuppiter urbem" condere timee
"Non nos aut ferro Libycos populare Penatis
venimus, aut raptas ad litora vertere praedas;

"virtutesque virosque" that's some quality alliterating
it's taking a lot of self-control on my end not to put some sort of >:) face next to every condere
