    ERRATA
    At 3:37, I said "Tiberim" but I think "Rubicōnem" would have made more sense, since that was what Julius Caesar's 13th Legion was so famous for doing. While I had practiced my talk beforehad and knew what I was going to say, I did not memorize it verbatim, so you're hearing me speak Latin fluently from my head as I would speak about these topics in English (and thus errors and gaffs can occur, as in any fluently spoken language).
    13:25 For some reason I say "pilum" (with a short vowel) instead of "pīlum," apparently confusing the word with "pilus," meaning a hair.

      you did great.
      though something curious happened to me with 2 of your videos.
      I somehow understood almost everything you said despite me not knowing latin, maybe surrounding myself with italians and knowing spanish may have to do with that...
      anyhow good video man.

      @ScorpioMartianus, an extended tour through Romanian universities and highschools would be highly appreciated. Romanians love it when someone is making fun of their ancestors, the Dacians. I think professors would pay you to give speeches and to perform, as you performed here, in their university's Aula Magna.

      I watched him walk down Lexington avenue in New York last year in his uniform. It was certainly interesting that most people (native New Yorkers??) seemed to not really react although they did glance while tourists did a serious double take. It was inspiring and amusing for those of us at the "Living Latin" conference who knew we would soon see him do this presentation after lunch. If you have the opportunity to go to the conference, you really should.

    As a Spanish speaker, when I watch this a second and third time, it's amazing how I begin to actually "hear" the words and have them make sense. After watching three to four times, I can "understand" about 50-70% of what's being said without reading the captions.

    An extended tour through Romanian universities and highschools would be highly appreciated. Romanians love it when someone is making fun of their ancestors, the Dacians. I think professors would pay you to give speeches and to perform, as you performed here, in their university's Aula Magna.

    I loved the detail that the way you wrote Latin in the projection is indeed *Romanesque*. Not “Triumphus” but “TRIVMPHUS”; not “imperātōris” but “IMPERA’TO’RIS”. This would, of course, be the expected way of writing Latin by our beloved Roman, Rufus.
    I have to say that I barely know Latin language, for I’ve been learning the language only for a few weeks now. Your channel(s) was one of the many reasons to get me interested in learning this beautiful language.
    So thanks, Luke. Best wishes from Turkey. 🤙🏻

    As the legionary was speaking, I was thinking 'oh we also have a trajan's column here in Romania, how many columns did this guy raise?', and then I felt immediately SEEN and vaguely offended by this roman soldier. Wonderful work!
    Though I say that I'm offended, the column is still somewhat of an artifact of a founding myth of my country, as I don't speak Dacian, I speak very new-fashioned Latin.
    Seeing the first page of my récit national or roman national (haha roman) presented in such a way by someone who was there is a wonderful experience. These videos are fascinating, and those people are very lucky to sit in the auditorium.
