<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 8168854, member: 80952&quot;][USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER] - this is a kind of story I like to hear again and again. And for me, and I am quite glad it&#039;s is the same for you, that particular coin would be much more worthy than a coin bought with thousands of dollars.</p><p>I also have some coins gifted by my grandfather, some modern 20th century coins, when I was 5-6 he used to &quot;pay&quot; me sometimes to help him work. Of course, work was just a game. I cherish these coins a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=116907]@Mammothtooth[/USER] - exactly 5 minutes ago I was thinking about how native English speakers pronounce Roman names (never had a face to face conversation on this subject with a native English speaker) but logically thinking and working with English speakers for the last 15 years, probably you don&#039;t pronounce some of correctly. One of them I can bet you pronounce it totally different - Vespasian. I know how you are tempted to pronounce it - I can guarantee it is incorrect, or anyway, not how the Romans pronounced this name.</p><p>(and I do NOT mean any disrespect or something - if any of you hear me speaking English you would say I have a thick Russian like accent although this is not 100% true; a parallel example, in the&nbsp; first days, when speaking with my Finnish colleagues at work I was wondering what language are they using, and yep, it was English, but their accent sounds very strange).</p><p><br /></p><p>Since my native language has the same accent and pronunciation as Latin, Marcia in Latin would be pronounced something like</p><p>MARCH - EE - A (I think)</p><p><br /></p><p>(and not MARSH - EE - A like I think you pronounce it in English)</p><p><br /></p><p>For example on this guide showing us how to pronounce MARCIA Otacilia Severa</p><p><a href="https://ro.howtopronounce.com/marcia-otacilia-severa" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ro.howtopronounce.com/marcia-otacilia-severa" rel="nofollow">https://ro.howtopronounce.com/marcia-otacilia-severa</a></p><p>I am 99% sure the pronunciation provided by the website is incorrect.</p><p>Otacilia would be also OTACH - EE - LEE - A, not Otashilia.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] and the other colleagues wishing me health - thanks. It was a rough time - combo of food poisoning + a kidney condition I suffer from. Got to the emergency hospital 2 times in 2 days and lost 6 kilograms in a week (well, that&#039;s not entirely bad)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
