Proelia or Proelio?

Can't be certain but 'in' in this case takes ablative. Ablative singular of Proelium is proelio, I think. 'a' would be nom plural which would make no sense.

Well that's settled then.

Can you imagine the piss-taking down the pub if you showed up with a tattoo that used the nominative plural! You'd never live it down.
 
It's "Superbia In Proelio" for absolute definite.

But I'm sure "superbia" means an arrogant over-proudness in oneself that comes before a fall. Basically "you're going into battle with the wrong attitude, you smarmy bastard".
So it's a load of old shite really!

Not quite:

Usage notes

While superbia generally refer to pride in a negative sense, it can also mean it in the good sense.
