Being English, my knowledge beyond a particular point is a little limited, but I can speak French and Welsh fairly well, some German, and can read Spanish, Swedish, and (dare I mention it) Esperanto... Oh yeah, and apparently English!
Tibi gratias ago. That does indeed help - thanks. I was aware that the English word sinister came from the Latin for left, but wasn't sure if this meaning goes back that far.
Anyone know what the Roman attitude to left-handedness was? Were they like the Victorians in my country who forced people to write with their right hand, or was it simply not an issue for them?
Does anyone know if there is any evidence of master and slave "falling in love" and marrying (after the slave had been granted freedon), or did the stratified nature of Roman society prevent the masters from even considering such a match?
There is one film you've all missed that cimply cannot be beaten, and that's Monty Python and the Life of Brian...! Ok, so it's probably not too hot on historical accuracy, but it is a genius film nonetheless! The latin grammar sketch particularly always gets me going...
No worries there. Actually, it's been really interesting reading everyone's views on this subject. And it's also good to hear of people in England with an interest in the Celtic languages!
