@MeChupaUnHuevon I dont't remember that scene, but as it is in this scene, he says exactly what the romans said. The romans said, they want the value of 20 cows, or 50 hundredweights grain. The key word is "value". They don't care if they get 20 cows, 50 hundredweights of grain, or 10 cows and 25 hundredweights of grain, just give them the same value as they asked for. Segestes says, they want livestock and grains, he doesn't mean that they need to pay both 20 cows AND 50 hundredweights of grain, just that they want a certain amount of these.

Let me tell you about Classical Latin: the latin alphabet has only 5 vowels. so if they had a sound like _ë_ or _ö_ , linguists can't tell. another example: the city of Brixium is today spelled Brescia in italian, which in english orthography would be Breshia. The nail on the coffin is that Latin culture emulated Greek culture, like the Francophonie of 1800 - everybody just loved French, dei was saying "nation, revolution, reunion, direction, administration, Napolion" and "directeur, liberateur, provocateur, terminateur, influenceur". But the people don't say "nation", dei say "nay-schuhn", dei don't say "revolution", dei say "revuh-liu-schuhn". Imagine some doofus 2000 years from now, trying to speak English judging by the orthography only: I am God. English orthography is retarded.

As if they can pay in 20 cows, or they can pay 50 hundredweight of grains, but if they paid it in 10 cows and 25 hundredweight of grain they dont care. It's the same value. Now, if Segestes said that romans want 20 cows, AND 50 hundredweight of grains, that would be different. He just merely said, that this is the 2 things romans accept.

Indeed, the ability to speak multiple languages was incredibly valuable and translators actually had extremely comfortable lives because of that job.

The 2nd season was so bad, that it made the historical advisors quit. I spoke to one of the advisors, as I am doing living history myself and the stories he told me about the producer really made me angry. Basically it all boiled down to the sentiment, that the authentic stuff restricted the director`s creativity. How about not making a fucking historic drama but instead a fantasy show if you don´t plan on following the history???

In a movie made by English speakers, for an English speaking audience, it makes sense for the protagonists to speak in contemporary modern English. If those characters are, for example, ancient Romans, there is an implicit understanding that while the actors are literally speaking English, the characters they are portraying are not - that their speech is, in effect, being “translated” for our benefit. It’s even commonly called “the translation convention”. The makers of “Barbarians”, who are German, have done exactly the same thing with the speech of their protagonists - the Germanians - who are played by actors speaking contemporary, modern High German. The Romans speak Latin because (a) their scenes are far fewer in number, (b) they are not the protagonists, and (c) the fact that the two populations cannot understand each other’s language is narratively important. You simply couldn’t tell that story if the actors playing Romans were speaking the same language as those playing Germanians. Once you accept that the characters’ dialogue is being translated into your language, for your benefit, quibbles about the “accuracy” of whatever accent the actor delivers those lines in becomes completely nonsensical. It’s already the “wrong” language, so what the hell does the accent matter? In effect, it’s not the character’s voice you’re hearing, it’s the actor acting as a translator so that you can understand what’s going on.

These people would not have spoken proto-Germanic. By the time that this takes place in 1st century the once common proto-Germanic had already started branching and developing into various different Germanic language groups as Germanic people had spread over a wide area. Cherusci - the people in the video - were part of the greater Suebi tribal entity and what they spoke was the primary root of the coming High Germanic languages, which contains what is Standard German of today. Obviously they would not have spoken modern Standard German, but what they spoke has not been sufficiently reconstructed for it to be fully spoken in a production like this and in this regard having German actors speaking modern Standard German is easy to explain.

@@AverageAlien Latin has still been spoken for all this time by some people, it is still thought in school in Romance speaking countries. And yeah, probably the pronunciation we have today is not 100% correct, but we know that it was a phonetic language, and since all the modern Romance languages are pronounced similarly, except for different influences, we can assume how Latin would have sounded like, and we are not that far off from the real thing. Also, there actually are many other ways that helped linguists throughout the time to figure out what Latin sounded like, like some actual manuals, or ways that Romans described how their language is superior to others, and more. You have to do the research on your own. The point is that the pronunciation of English is so different from other languages, that a native speaker has a very difficult time, pronouncing a different language

"Varus exigit ab omni tribu pretium vicen(or)um boum vel quinquagenum ponderum frumenti centenarii." "Varus requires every tribe to pay the value of twenty cows or fifty hundredweights of grain."

At 0:57 "Varus exigit ab omni tribu pretium viginti boum vel quinquagenum ponderum frumenti centenarii" Latin became the language of the globalization in Roman times. The expansion of the Roman Empire spread Latin throughout Europe, and over time Vulgar Latin evolved and dialectized in different locations, gradually shifting into a number of distinct Romance languages beginning in around the 9th century.

@@jigokutensei71 blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin suit women. Nordic women are, indeed, quite pretty. But that's also why northern european men look effeminate, even when tall and with a beard. For a northern european to have a "not so feminine" look, he needs to either a) have dark hair, b) be bald or c) be slightly overweight.
When they accurately pronounced the "v” like a “w.” That gave me life.
Same here. But there were also some inaccurate points, which spoiled the vibe of the whole picture unfortunately...
Let me tell you about Classical Latin: the latin alphabet has only 5 vowels. so if they had a sound like _ë_ or _ö_ , linguists can't tell. another example: the city of Brixium is today spelled Brescia in italian, which in english orthography would be Breshia. The nail on the coffin is that Latin culture emulated Greek culture, like the Francophonie of 1800 - everybody just loved French, dei was saying "nation, revolution, reunion, direction, administration, Napolion" and "directeur, liberateur, provocateur, terminateur, influenceur". But the people don't say "nation", dei say "nay-schuhn", dei don't say "revolution", dei say "revuh-liu-schuhn". Imagine some doofus 2000 years from now, trying to speak English judging by the orthography only: I am God. English orthography is retarded.
@@justanotherbaptistjew5659 well how do you pronounce the letter 'I' from an English text, if you donno how the English pronounce the letter 'I'? Nobody knows how Classical Latin sounded like. Classic Latin writing was clearly influenced by Ancient Greek writing. But neither do we know how the Ancient Greek orthography was pronounced. don't worry about "I am God" it's just a sentence.
Also the "r". English and especially American English "r" is like I'm listening someone with the tongue paralysis.
I studied latin...long ago :) it's not a "W" but a "U" , we pronounce it in a different way; we say "U" not "IU".
Best spoken ancient latin in TV or Movie ever
100% agree.
I Much rather have this then that everyone speaks English. Hey maybe I learn a word of 2.
There are some small issues with the pronunciation and the word “fuck” isnt what the Romans would have said (they would have said something like “By Jupiter”) it’s overall very good.
Yeah but they shouldn't be speaking 100% latin in a Hollywood movie, especially if the Romans are the "protagonists". That would be just horrible.
@@gandalfthegrey2592 not for me, but it is subjective in the end.
I just realised a huge mistake on the translator's part. The Romans demanded either livestock or grain (any one) as a tribute. The translator just went ahead and said they want both livestock and grain as tribute. Welp.........
Yes translation mistakes kill , even today
Its not a mistake. The romans meant that they accept cows and grains. As if they can pay in 20 cows, or they can pay 50 hundredweight of grains, but if they paid it in 10 cows and 25 hundredweight of grain they dont care. It's the same value. Now, if Segestes said that romans want 20 cows, AND 50 hundredweight of grains, that would be different. He just merely said, that this is the 2 things romans accept.
As a Romanian i understood “Futute” 😂😂
well you are a roman
Took me by surprise 😅
This scene alone is epic. And the classic latin pronunciation is amazing. It sounds so majestic. The actor did a really good job with the speech. Outstanding.
also his impressions, his body language. This clip really made me check this show.
@@Billswiftgti true indeed. I was also committed after seing this majestic scene. However the show-although really good- was somehow not as advertised with said scene. I guess my expectations were just too high
@@maelb2868 well, it is a movie literally someone behind the scenes told the actor to say the phrase like this and he probably practiced it, the troops of the Roman legions did not speak (obviously) like that, but rather the art of oratory was alien to They and reserved for the people of the Senate, I mean e people of letters, what the troops of the legions really spoke was a vulgar Latin that spread throughout the rest of Europe that Rome conquered, from this are born for example the Romance languages ( Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, French, etc).
That actor is italian, that's why He's that good. His name is Valerio Morigi.
@@anyeoca9157 when he spoke to the other romans he did use vulgar latin. the reason the reast of his speach is so proper is because it was a directive from Rome or on Rome's authority and so was probably written by a bureaucrat
I actually felt the role of translator has always been incredibly undervalued in historic shows. Indeed, the ability to speak multiple languages was incredibly valuable and translators actually had extremely comfortable lives because of that job. Much like writing and reading Latin, it was a pretty rare thing, since most people lived within a few miles of their own places for most of their lives, barring the occasional journey to nearby cities or holy places.
Also a fun added detail: the translator is translating wrong, and the words he’s messing up are such basic ones it creates the impression he is doing it on purpose. Which given what happened next historically, is probably exactly what they’re conveying.
Did you see the conditions they were living on, he could of been the best off in the village it's just that the bar is too low to notice.

I loved the efforts on languages in the show, especially casting german and italian speakers, the italian actors having the closest natural accent to speak latin credibly
Actually there is plenty of evidence that claccial latin sounded nothing like Italian. We know from commonly misspelled words in graffiti (which were written phonetically). For example, classical Latin Caesar was pronounced Kai-sar, not See-zar or Seh-sarre. Still the dedication to actually speak Latin is more than I could ask for, it sounds amazing and brings this scene from a 6/10 to a 9/10.

This show was absolutely amazing. Netflix needs to follow this trend more
The authenticity of the first season was ok (horrible military camp layout, end of 1st C. roman gear while playing in the early 1st C., absolutely dogshit equipment of the germanic people, romans not using slings but bows instead, romans beeing constantly shown as the bad guys...) . The 2nd season was so bad, that it made the historical advisors quit. I spoke to one of the advisors, as I am doing living history myself and the stories he told me about the producer really made me angry. Basically it all boiled down to the sentiment, that the authentic stuff restricted the director`s creativity. How about not making a fucking historic drama but instead a fantasy show if you don´t plan on following the history???

I'm so tired of romans in media speaking english in British or American accents. This is actually a nice breath of fresh air. lmaooo why are people getting so unnecessarily triggered, I feel like I'm on Twitter
It felt like you were living in the territories of the Roman Republic/Empire 🦅. Real Latin. Heck had it been Spanish, French, Italian or portuguese, I can almost buy it. Since they’re the Romance languages themselves. But Latin. Thats authenticity.
In a movie made by English speakers, for an English speaking audience, it makes sense for the protagonists to speak in contemporary modern English. If those characters are, for example, ancient Romans, there is an implicit understanding that while the actors are literally speaking English, the characters they are portraying are not - that their speech is, in effect, being “translated” for our benefit. It’s even commonly called “the translation convention”. The makers of “Barbarians”, who are German, have done exactly the same thing with the speech of their protagonists - the Germanians - who are played by actors speaking contemporary, modern High German. The Romans speak Latin because (a) their scenes are far fewer in number, (b) they are not the protagonists, and (c) the fact that the two populations cannot understand each other’s language is narratively important. You simply couldn’t tell that story if the actors playing Romans were speaking the same language as those playing Germanians. Once you accept that the characters’ dialogue is being translated into your language, for your benefit, quibbles about the “accuracy” of whatever accent the actor delivers those lines in becomes completely nonsensical. It’s already the “wrong” language, so what the hell does the accent matter? In effect, it’s not the character’s voice you’re hearing, it’s the actor acting as a translator so that you can understand what’s going on.
Wait when did the romans ever get an American accent?
@@unclejoeoakland Plenty of old Hollywood sword and sandal epics.
@@fromchomleystreet ok good point. But even then they always seem to be affecting british accents. And furthermore the brits do seem to do it better, in fairness.
I’ve studied and translated latin for 5 years in high school, I wouldn’t have imagined that one day I would be able to understand spoken latin
I watched this an exuberant amount of times already
Do you know what "exuberant" means? Are you sure you didn't mean exhorbitant?
everyone: oh wow Latin me, a German speaker: well isn't that proto-germanic suprisingly easy to understand
Yeah. I was shocked when I heard the barbarians' response. Quite recognizable. They must have learned it from the same book I did.
It would have been better is they actually spoke Proto-Germanic. But this might be much more difficult to reconstruct because of the lesser amount of available written text. But nevertheless, the fact that they speak German is better than if they spoke English.
@@GlennMulderij 👏👏👏👏👏
These people would not have spoken proto-Germanic. By the time that this takes place in 1st century the once common proto-Germanic had already started branching and developing into various different Germanic language groups as Germanic people had spread over a wide area. Cherusci - the people in the video - were part of the greater Suebi tribal entity and what they spoke was the primary root of the coming High Germanic languages, which contains what is Standard German of today. Obviously they would not have spoken modern Standard German, but what they spoke has not been sufficiently reconstructed for it to be fully spoken in a production like this and in this regard having German actors speaking modern Standard German is easy to explain.
@@NikoChristianWallenberg This is the kind of flex I was looking for.
Has anyone here commented on the fact that the riders didn't have stirrups? I've always found it fascinating that the stirrup didn't reach Europe until the 8th century. It had to have been very difficult for actors used to them to adapt to this scene. That's actually a detail most period pieces miss.
Wow didnt know about that peice of trivia. Personally, I learned to ride bareback so stirrups sometimes just feel in the way. Plus I saw a nasty accident where a horse rolled over on someone when their foot was stuck in a stirrup. So I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of skepticism regarding stirrups when they first got introduced. Ultimately though, makes long rides far more comfortable and was an excellent invention.
The stirrup was a technology invented by the Mongols...that is what made the tribes of the Asian Steppes so imposing and feared by all Europeans they encountered.
I wonder why an open stirrup (more like a bicycle pedal) was never developed. Could support weight without trapping the rider's foot. I guess the trick would be it would be much more involved to manufacture, since a stirrup is just a loop of leather, but this would need some serious iron reinforcement.
@@jessegutierrez6923 Lmao your phrase makes no sense whatsoever. The mongols never invaded european countries (and europe was never, and still isn't, a country). The mongols at most invades and pillaged central/west asian countries. Like modern day Kazakhstan, iran, iraq. They never even stepped foot in what you'd consider "european countries" today.
@@Mantorok12 because you also need to pull up on the stirrup as well as pull down. It also moves around a lot and doesn't doesn't in a fixed place like a bicycle pedal
i really wish certain clasical languages were a bigger part of formal theatre schooling. it would do so much for authenticity and i can definetly see some actors loving it as well, adding to their skill set and marketability.

@@michaelerickson985 You missed the joke entirely. Don't ever watch Stargate, you'll have an aneurysm wondering how all the species know English.
This is totally inaccurate. Everyone and their mama knows Ancient Romans, the founders of the Latin based languages, spoke with perfect British accents sounding like theyre from the north.
I don't understand why are you all complaining about Romans speaking English. If the actors are English, I really don't want them to speak another language, because in 99% of the time, they absolutely butcher the pronunciation if they haven't actually studied that language.
@@henryviii2091 You do realise nobody speaks Latin anymore? So english actors or not, they will butcher it regardless unless properly taught
@@AverageAlien Latin has still been spoken for all this time by some people, it is still thought in school in Romance speaking countries. And yeah, probably the pronunciation we have today is not 100% correct, but we know that it was a phonetic language, and since all the modern Romance languages are pronounced similarly, except for different influences, we can assume how Latin would have sounded like, and we are not that far off from the real thing. Also, there actually are many other ways that helped linguists throughout the time to figure out what Latin sounded like, like some actual manuals, or ways that Romans described how their language is superior to others, and more. You have to do the research on your own. The point is that the pronunciation of English is so different from other languages, that a native speaker has a very difficult time, pronouncing a different language
