Uhh maintaining military fitness?

But this thread is degrading into another Romaioi-Macedon bashing and

God, if I was Tosa, I would have applied "baptism or death" to all the Rômaioktonoi. Just imagine what the EB forums would be without them! Bah, but as Parmenio and Iskander story goes...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

...when he was a member of Romaioktonoi

I already know all he and Sata has to say

and I encourage others to follow suit. These two are nothing but a spamming nuisance.

I wonder why you want your Roman generals to sound Italian though, modern Italians has very little in common with the Res Publica Romana. Their language and culture is cool and I like them, but a fair bit away from the Legions. Think rather capitano Bertorelli

I also wonder what is wrong with being gay?

I at least do not mind them, most are cool and nice people as their own and society's preconceptions and prejudices has forced them to grow- and it leaves more girls for me

Yeah, you've mentioned that few times already. Big deal.
Vanity isn't a virtue though...

mmmh the Romans spoke latin, not italian...
although the italian is very similar to latin, much more than french and spanish (other languages derived from Latin).

1600 years after the fall of the west roman empire, in large part of its territory is still speaking neo-Latin languages ...
seems that the empire of the East has fallen before the empire of the West..

however, does not seem right to give to Romans an italian lenguage.
if you want to know the Latin, ask to a Catholic priest, he certainly knows it.
Once the fallen Roman Empire, only the Holy Church has continued to speak Latin in the world.

Don't forget that science and lawyers use it (Albeit in small amounts..)

Some fun is fine. Seriously. But if every damned thread here is turning into this spam, respond-attack-spam, spam, quote-complain-attack-spam, uh-oh-lock-coming-spam, spam, then we will have to go further than just closing some threads. People don't come here for that - we have lots of members that watch the public forum - we *want* to look at the threads there. BUT if every time we open one up because it has a bold title and some new posts have been made, and then we find this crap on the inside (the "haha! Romans suxor!" "Maks teh rule!"), then it starts pissing us off that we opened it up, and that we wasted that time, and we question "is *this* what I'm spending my time doing here?" You don't want that. We don't want that. So put a stop to this yourselves or we will. An occasional joke about it won't bother folks. But when a comment is made, then someone has to post a one sentence comment *on* a comment (and not on the topic), and someone else has to post a five word comment on *that* comment, then we WILL do something about it, even if it unfortunately means removing some folks' access to the EB forum here, which they probably won't want. Post something of consequence. That's why the "what's the best bang for your buck unit" type threads have so many views - there's good stuff there. Take the tavern stuff elsewhere.

Italian is closer to Latin than English is, and it's not meant as a historical refinement, more like an improvement of the general atmosphere.
As for the Church, I read somewhere that Catholic Latin is also different from original Latin. There is also the difference between vulgar and formal latin, where vulgar latin sounded much more like modern Romanic languages (formal horse: equus, vulgar horse: caballo).
Come to speak of it, anyone know good sources for audio of (attempts at) classical latin?
The only thing I found was a bad recorded latin overdub of "Star Wars"
