<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4515435, member: 72790&quot;]I am nor certain of this but I think there was something to the notion that if you were or became a Roman one of the things you did, really had to do , was to learn a non barbarian language to be considered a good Roman. For the Romans, language was considered the vehicle of culture. Either Latin or Greek would do. When getting to the barbarian invasions and the fall of Rome (in the West) I would joke with my students that I was probably the only person in the classroom who would not be considered a barbarian in Classical terms because of the linguistic requirements to be considered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
