Is "vis et palma" an accurate translation of "strength and honor" in the sense in which those words were used in the movie, "Gladiator?"

I would say " Vis et decus" or "Vis et honor"

"Palma" is not exactly translating 'honor', it has more the meaning of "palm award, first place"

To some extent. An accurate translation, keeping the words would be "strength and honors"
