Until some Emperor ordered something be done about the G & C mess Latin had become the G did not exist as a seperate letter in the Roman alphabet.Originally Posted by I Am Herenow
Why did the man want such a change? Well, the pronounciation of names such as Caius & Cnaeus and lots of words had changed so much that they did not sound anything like other words beginning with a C anymore at all.
And so, the G was invented: a C with something attatched to it to make it look different; and to make let people know "oh this one is pronounced Gaius instead of Caius".
