[QUOTE="Aidan_(), post: 2714083, member: 70832"]For the most part I've been lurking, but it's a great contest so I couldn't resist! PLEASE ENTER ME!! How do you say [B]sestertius[/B]? I had trouble with the pronunciation :wacky: so I asked [USER=75563]@ancientcoinguru[/USER] and a dealer at the ANA national show last month. Here's how you say it: [B]Sestertius [/B](singular) - se-[B]stur[/B]-sh[I]uh[/I] s (that's what they told me) [B]Sestertii [/B](plural) - se-[B]stur[/B]-shee-ahy -I'm pulling this from dictionary.com so if anyone has a different pronunciation for this please tell me! [B]Sesterce [/B](RR silver form) - ses-[B]turs[/B] -again from dictionary.com If I'm missing anything please let me know. Great contest, thanks for doing this Aethelred![/QUOTE]
