Join me at Living Latin in New York City 2024! Use this link to get $50 off the $180 registration fee: www.paideiainstitute.org/llinyc_registration_payment_speakers I don't get any money if you sign up, but I'm happy to be able to offer my audience such a huge discount to this one-of-a-kind event. Nōs vidēbimus illīc! See you there! ERRATA At 3:37, I said "Tiberim" but I think "Rubicōnem" would have made more sense, since that was what Julius Caesar's 13th Legion was so famous for doing. While I had practiced my talk beforehad and knew what I was going to say, I did not memorize it verbatim, so you're hearing me speak Latin fluently from my head as I would speak about these topics in English (and thus errors and gaffs can occur, as in any fluently spoken language). 13:25 For some reason I say "pilum" (with a short vowel) instead of "pīlum," apparently confusing the word with "pilus," meaning a hair. Many thanks to my friend Metatron, who inspired me to learn about the Lorica Segmentata. See this video of his on the Lorica Segmentata that I helped him translate into Latin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onvUkJ9sfs2maMU

@ScorpioMartianus, an extended tour through Romanian universities and highschools would be highly appreciated. Romanians love it when someone is making fun of their ancestors, the Dacians. I think professors would pay you to give speeches and to perform, as you performed here, in their university's Aula Magna.

I loved the detail that the way you wrote Latin in the projection is indeed *Romanesque*. Not “Triumphus” but “TRIVMPHUS”; not “imperātōris” but “IMPERA’TO’RIS”. This would, of course, be the expected way of writing Latin by our beloved Roman, Rufus. I have to say that I barely know Latin language, for I’ve been learning the language only for a few weeks now.

It's not unlike hearing modern Italian and Spanish being gestured and spoken by current speakers in their respective nations.

Ave legionario. Complimenti sei stato bravissimo ed entusiasmante. Come si dice in romanesco: "troppo forte, sei er mejo der mejo". Un saluto dall'Urbe da Luigi.

Latin certainly sounds awesome. He's just giving lecture and he sounds epic. No wonder their war time speeches could convice people to fight to the death.
