Schools and universities, Scottish clans (families), towns, military battalions and pieces of advice often have Latin mottoes many of which use adverbs; below are some examples of adverbs in -ē and -iter:
[1]
Nēmō mē impūnē* lacessit. │ No one provokes me with impunity │Motto of the
Royal Stuart dynasty of Scotland and the national motto of Scotland
*although
ending in -ē, the adverb comes from impūnis, -e (a 3rd declension
adjective)
[2]
sapienter sī sincērē │ wisely if sincerely │Motto
of the Clan Davidson (my own clan)
[3] fortiter et rēctē │ boldy and rightly │ Clan Elliot

audācter and audāciter exist
[5]
fidēliter et dīligenter │ faithfully and diligently │ USAF 1st photographic
group
[6] agendo gnāviter* │ by doing diligently │ 577th Engineer
Battalion
*gnāvus, -a, -um is an alternative of nāvus, -a, -um:
diligent
