<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8093081, member: 118780&quot;]Actually, thinking about this a bit more - I believe it&#039;s a mistake to believe that Greek pronunciation back then was uniform at all. Given the relative linguistic isolation, there must have been considerable differences from place to place. I would expect this to be especially true for vowels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even in terms of B, the pronunciation may not have been uniform. It may have been pronounced &quot;B&quot; in 4th century Athens and &quot;V&quot; in 4th century elsewhere, and eventually the latter became prevalent.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT, in complete honesty and in line with the original post, I wasn&#039;t aware there was a shift in the B until I started collecting ancient coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
