For all future video's: It is "Prinkipes" in classical Latin. In general the Latin grapheme ⟨c⟩ is the Latin phone [k], which is always pronounced hard as k in sky, never soft as in cellar, cello, or social. ⟨k⟩ is a letter coming from Greek, but seldom written as such and generally replaced by c. Triarii for example would be pronounced with 3 times the same i-sound of ea in easy. Not Triari-eye.

However no one is really 100% sure about this? And the language has been used / changed over 1000+ years. In the beginning no one even wrote down much spelling rules. So it doesn't really matter how you pronounce it because I can be correct ? Does this makes sense?
@PeGaiarsa3 жыл бұрын
@@rubenheymans1988 yeah, I think it makes sense. I think most of the "correct" pronunciation of dead languages derives from the pronunciation of the child languages. For instance: "CH" in Italian always has a "K" sound. It's not irrational to argue that a "C" in Latin would sound like a "CH" in Italian, since Italian basically derived fully from Latin.
@tigervv64373 жыл бұрын
@@rubenheymans1988 Of course 100% sure no one will ever be, but there is a lot of evidence that suggests it was actually spoken as I summed up, amongst probably the elite, since there were many dialects as well. After extensive research a consensus has been reached among historians and classici that this is the most likely way it was/is pronouced and so is also taught to students when reading and speaking classical Latin. So there is a general rulebook, since many things are derivable (Isolated communities and dialects for example give good indication, like on Sicily they speak Italian with pronounciation much closer to classical Latin). Check out the Netflix series Barbarians. The classical Latin there is excellent.

I'd have to disagree. Yes Rome doesn't have the best cavalry unit in the game but it has two very good spear units, Triarii and Auxiliaries, some of the best archers, and that classic medium to heavy infantry that stack bodies like cord wood.

On the principes question. Both pronunciations can work. The hark k-like sound is probably closer to classical Latin used in the period. The soft c would be vulgar Latin (mediaeval). Classicists will also pronounce Cicero like "Kikero," or Tacitus "Takitus" for the same reason.

in antiquity the letter c was pronounced like an english k as in kraft. So principe was pronounced prinkipe. Caesar was pronounced similar to Kaisar. Cicero was pronounced like Kickero. Modern italian is different; if an i or e follows a c, it is pronounced like a “chi” or “che”, so it sounds like princheepe. Spanish and English each have their own take on how to pronounce the c.

the pronunciation of principes varies based on how you pronounce your latin in general, the sound of C in latin has changed throughout the years-- if you go by classical latin then it's always a hard c (this even applies to ch which is always pronounced like the ch in chemistry in classical latin), but in ecclesiastical latin it's quite different! basically, your pronunciation of it as "prinkipes" is the correct way to say it in classical latin i think

Great massive siege battle but i would have loved to have been in control of Sparta defending as without sounding too arrogant I would have created some serious kill zones where the outer walls had been knocked down creating huge breaches that need to be plugged and imo what better faction to use than Sparta to plug those gaps which would have caused a huge delay to entering the city and in some cases kept the tower defence either in dispute or on the side defence. How i would have done this - Square formations which would force entering troops to be funnelled towards my lines if pikes. Slingers with there range set further behind to pepper any nme troops who were actually on the walls from the siege engines etc. I know its easy after watching battle like this and hearsay say my defence would have worked much better and been successful but based on my experience with Sparta and examples of how to use square formations combined with pikes on my own channel i feel confident imo I would have produced some great defence footage that would have reminded myself and many others of a combination of the film 300 defending the hot gates and also the newly knighted men from the film kingdom of heaven where they defended the wall breach in the city of Jerusalem. Anyway I still loved this epic battle and maybe Pixel if you ever want me to put my money where my mouth is you could message me and perhaps give me an opportunity to be a lucky a player who could appear in one of your videos in the future. In the meantime thank you for great upload and footage. I look forward to watching some more of your latest videos soon.
