Roman Legionary Standards

[The General]

I is Y as well, not J.

Do you mean the english 'j' or the IPA 'j'? The [first] letter in 'jay' or 'you'?

Imho, I=J, as it is used in, for example, IVLIVS=Iulius=Julius Caesar, despite the sillyness of the English language/pronunciation.

[Fenrhyl]

I and Y do not have the same sound *at all* in latin. "I" thus can't replace "Y" . (Y sounds roughly like the french U).

[Copperknickers]

In Latin, Iu=y sound, in Latin-English, Iu=J sound, happy?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I was reffering to the post above mine, hence English Y. The English Y and Latin I are pretty much the same. Y in Latin is borrowed from Greek though, it's a different sound. It's days like these I with Claudius' extra letters had taken root.

[Gaivs]

So whats the definite opinion? C or G, or what time did the G become more prominent than the C?
