    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.
    Many thanks to my friend Metatron, who inspired me to learn about the Lorica Segmentata. See this video of his on the Lorica Segmentata that I helped him translate into Latin: ua-cam.com/video/lJq_l6Ihs2c/v-deo.html

      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.

      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.

    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. 🤙🏻

The audience not just being a blank slate kept it from just a single, skilled Latin speaker to a pretty immersive experience. Thank you for this and I applaud your grasp of Latin! I much appreciated the subtitles so I could follow.

    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.
