<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Herodotus, post: 4401268, member: 111387&quot;]Interesting thread, as I was contemplating this yesterday in how to pronounce the names of certain emperors.&nbsp; IE.&nbsp; Caracalla - the (C)s are naturally hard (C)s, but my American brain has me still wanting to sound it out as &#039;Care&#039; &#039;ah&#039; &#039;Sulla&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Much applies in the same was for &#039;Seleucid&#039; (&#039;Sell&#039; &#039;Lou&#039; &#039;Sid&#039;) or Seleukid (&#039;Sell&#039; &#039;Lou&#039; &#039;kid&#039;)</p><p><br /></p><p>In that thinking, is the correct form of &#039;Caesar&#039; meant to also be pronounced with a hard (C).. akin to Kaiser in German?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
