Hello, Billium

Sorry for the delay in PLing. I started listening to your section, but maybe you have uploaded an unedited file? :hmm: The sound is really low, so it does need some amplification. But other than that, there is a number of stumbvles that need to be edited out. For example:

@04:04 - a stumble "of the opposing schools of historians"
between 04:13 - 04:16 a series of stumbles
@04:24 - stumble "conduct"
@04:31 - stumble "relied"
@05:17 - stumble "Europe... empire"
@05:41 - stumble "contrasts"

So, I will mark this as PL notes, while you re-listen to it and edit it, okay? :) And don't forget to amplify. Thanks!

Here's a question for someone more expert in Latin and perhaps other pronunciations than me. I'm doing two chapters, Julia Domna and Justina.

I know from taking Latin way back in HS and from double checking via Forvo that Julia is pronounced Yulia in the Latin. But by the time we get to Justina, the empire is based in the east in Constantinople and I'm wondering if that affects the pronunciation. I can't find a specifically Latin tagged pronunciation of Justina, and the other pronunciations vary between pronouncing with a J and with a Y sound. Meanwhile, the similar name Justinian, also a Constantinople emperor, is usually pronounced with the J, but I'm not sure if that's Anglicized or correct.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hey Colleen!

Thanks for asking. I feel that in this book, we have been using the English names. All these historical figures have had their names Anglicized (Frenchized, Spanishized... :mrgreen: ) through time, so, since the reading is in English, I suppose the names can just be read in English, really. Just like I imagine nobody would say "Cristoforo Colombo" in a book in English, but Christopher Columbus, we can jusy say Julia, Justinian and Constantine as in English.

Oops, well, I just finished editing the Julia Domna chapter and I used the Yulia pronunciation throughout...

Please let me know if you need me to re-record for consistency of pronunciation across the other chapters since there is more than one Julia in the book!

Thanks, Colleen. It's fine, don't worry. Since it will be consistent throughout your chapter, I think people will understand who you are talking about. :mrgreen: I will PL soon.

HI!

Getting ready to start recording my sections but I have a quick question. My sections are 16-18 but the text has them as Chapters 14, 15 and 16. Which do I use in the recording?
