<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3039255, member: 19463&quot;]When I took Greek in college we learned two things about pronunciation.&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; It helps a lot to know the pronunciation when reading poetry.&nbsp; 2. Greek has been spoken in many different places for going on 3000 years.&nbsp; Just what do you expect?&nbsp; Consistency? </p><p><br /></p><p>The last word to worry about IMHO is &quot;Aurelianianus&quot;.&nbsp; It was a&nbsp; word made up to replace/augment another completely made up word &quot;antoninianus&quot;.&nbsp; We have no idea what the people who spent the things called them.&nbsp; Scholars and collectors love to make up terms to distinguish those in the &#039;know&#039; from the rest of the ignorant world.&nbsp; That this attitude existed 200 years ago is sad.&nbsp; I was hoping we might get over it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
