| 0:00.0 | Gooday there, Steve Murray here with my humble attempt to try and provide what I think |
| 0:24.4 | to be the accurate pronunciation for some key Roman names and concepts from the late |
| 0:31.8 | Republican period. I thought I might start by Pullinger Sulla, so Lucas Cornelius Sulla Felix. |
| 0:39.3 | Also, Lucchinius Lucullus and Quintus Littotius Cacullus. |
| 0:46.3 | Moving on to the three triumvirs, or more accurately triumweirs, |
| 0:52.3 | Gaius Julius Caesar would more accurately be pronounced Gaius Ulius Kaiser, |
| 0:59.1 | Nius Pompeius Magnus, he's Pompeii, and also Marcus Likinius Crassus. |
| 1:06.5 | Perhaps the other most famous Roman at the time was Marcus Tullius Cicero, perhaps more accurately |
| 1:12.8 | pronounced Marcus Tullius Kikero. |
| 1:15.7 | His colleague for the consulship was Gaius Antonius Hibreda. |
| 1:21.4 | Among the so-called Optimates was Marcus Porkius Cato and Caesar's colleague for the consulship, Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus. |
| 1:33.1 | It seems like there was always a Mattelus around to cause trouble. |
| 1:37.0 | Quintus Caichelius Mattelus Keeler is one, and Quintus Caccellius Mattelius Pius is another. |
| 1:45.3 | The famous Cateline of the Catalina conspiracy would have been Lucius Sergius Catalina, |
| 1:54.0 | and the famous Tribune of the plebs, Publius Claudius Pulcia. |
| 2:00.0 | Moving on to some other words, |
| 2:02.5 | the chief priest would have been the Pontifex Maximus, |
| 2:05.8 | and their chief priest of Jupiter would have been the Flamen Diallus. |
| 2:10.6 | The assemblies, the Comitia Conjuriata, |
| 2:14.5 | and the Comitia Tributor, |
| 2:16.8 | and I think my personal favourite of Cam's, the Sinartist Consultum ultimum. |
| 2:23.4 | All right, that's just my humble attempt. |
