Media discussion - 2024/25

I love the Romans - straight roads, baths, toilets, aqueducts, forts etc. Wish I had been able to do Latin at school, unfortunately the year we were streamed I had done extremely well I'm my science exams, so got put in science group, hated it. Really felt I missed out on the language front. I mean I even enjoyed Mass in Latin.....!

Wouldn't like to have been around though when the Romans were here.

I did read somewhere that most of the Roman 'footsoldiers' who first arrived were of Germanic origin, the generals etc were the actual Romans.

You are luckier than you think. I took Latin and it was a nightmare. How can “I give” be “do” in Latin (seems easy enough) but “we used to give” is “dabamus”. Apart from then”d” there is no similarity. Try reading Latin, it’s impossible. No bloody wonder they controlled the world anyone that could speak Latin was too clever by half
