The Word 'later' is Latin for 'bar [of metal]', and 'aureus' the masculine form of the adjective 'gold' or 'golden'. Latin is a language that uses case endings, to show the relationship to the verb in the sentence. The case isn't specified in this example.
Therefore, the Latin equivalent of the phrase 'gold bars' is given for all five cases, in the plural form. The phrase 'gold bars', as subject in the nominative case, is lateres aurei. The genitive, or possessive, form as 'of the gold bars' is laterum aureorum. The dative, or indirect object, form as 'to the gold bars' is lateribus aureis. The accusative, or direct object, form as 'the gold bars' is lateres aureos. And the ablative form as 'by, from, in , or with the gold bars' is lateribus aureis after the appropriate preposition.
Addition info: The above answer tells how to translate it using a noun and an adjective, meaning that there is a bar of metal that is golden. To translate it as "a bar of metal that is made of gold", you will need to use the noun "bar" along with the noun "gold" in the genative case, to show the genitive of material. To do this, start with the Word "later" in whatever case you need it to be in the sentence. After it put the later noun for gold, "aurus" in the genitive case, "auri". So to say "bar of gold" you would say "later auri".
Note: The genitive case can always be translated as "of _____".
