Talk like a Roman

4 Comments

A great vlog post by the esteemed Lindybeige about language in Ancient Rome – a post that has a very close connection with my Aculeo & Amunet stories1 – and also has a certain connection whit the Great Swape Debate.
Enjoy.


  1. yes, I still remember the guy that said a Roman centurion would never use the expression “cuckold“

  1. I really enjoyed this post, it’s so interesting.
    After all who can forget the guy who blamed you for the expression “cuckold“ ?
    Maybe he would appreciate you are doing your best to not make “such mistakes” in the future. Just kidding, you know! 😀
