@@ScorpioMartianus In order to be realistic I think the German geek should speak Latin with a German / Central European pronunciation, not classical Latin with a German accent. Of course that may cause problems when the Roman soldier would not understand half of what he is saying.

[@danceatbacchanalia]

@@teleonomix I may be wrong but that's probably because there is very little record of ancient Germanic pronunciation if any. That's why our best bet is Classical Latin (spoken roughly when Rome and Germanic tribes had the most interactions) with a modern German accent.

I cannot believe how good this is. The German accent. How the German speaks slower than the Roman. The hot Roman. How accurate the personality’s show. Like the Dr. seems kinda weird and awkward in our and the roman’s eyes but he is so excited and joyful ! How direct the Roman is and how he acts just how you would imagine a soldier in that time to do ! The tiny historical facts inserted perfectly in the text! How we see language and time(?) barriers. Just how hot the Roman is. The jokes after the interviewer asks the Roman stupid questions. The arrogance of the soldier. “It’s for the ritual” “ne, ich brauche das !” I’m so dead after this video…When did I become a person that would absolutely simp over a video (and a bald guy) like that?
