EDIT: (00:20) "tribum" should be "tribuum" (pl, gen for partitive genitive with "pars")
This scene in Latin is from the first episode of the new Netflix original "Barbarians" or "Barbaren". Though I haven't found an official copy of the Latin script, I have added Latin captions by ear and slightly modified parts of the English subtitles provided by Netflix. My Latin captions may be incorrect in some places, so I have provided commentary below on the parts about which I was less sure.
As a student and lover of Latin, this show's commitment to having the Romans speak Latin the whole way through is something I never thought I'd have the privilege to see and I am hoping desperately for a season 2. The writers' use of idiomatic language, the vocative for direct address (unlike almost every other show/movie trying to use Latin I've seen), and even the pronunciation of 'v' as 'w' are all immesely appreciated.
Notes:
- (1:03) though the audio sounds a bit like "intendagit", which wouldn't make much sense, I've guessed and captioned it "intenderit" (3rd, singular, futperf, ind, act), which works grammatically but may be stretching the meaning of "intendo" unless it's an idiom I don't know. They may have meant "intellegit" (3rd, singular, pres, ind, act), which is much closer in meaning and grammar to the original Netflix subtitle translation ("The tribes don't understand this."), but the audio sounds significantly more like inteND- than inteLL-. The English captions make the subject seem plural, but it sounds singular throughout.
- (1:08) my choice of "omine" rather than a form of "omnis" may be contentious. I've taken "ab alio omine" (singular, neuter, ablative) as roughly "by any other token", which is not reflected in the English. What they translate as "a man cannot sentence another man to die" can be understood more literally as "the law (ius) forbids (vetat) that heads/lives (capita) be condemned (damnari) by another ____ (ab alio ___)." The inflected ending, to me, sounds quite clearly like e, but for that final word to be a form of "omnis", it would have to be either "omni" to match "alio" or "omnia" to match "capita"- "omne" is tempting because it matches "capita" in case and gender, but it doesn't match in number. "Omine" was my next best guess, and seems to work with the audio.
- (1:17) I've punctuated "opu'st" to reflect that it's a prodelision of "opus est", an idiom which implies need/obligation and which typically takes the ablative. This makes sense with the ablative case of "eis experto". Credit to Dr Beppe Pezzini's paper "Contraction of EST in Latin" (Transactions of the Philolgical Society, vol. 109 no. 3, 2011, pp 327-343) for helping me figure out what was being said here.

I know it's called Barbarians, but IMO the Romans are the real stars of this TV show.
The Latin really does it
@LegoGuy87 The problem with that is that no one knows what Proto-Germanic/Germanic sounded like. Yes, the same can be said about ancient Greek and Latin, but there's evidence of how their letters were supposed to sound like based on grammatical writings. There are no counterparts to that concerning ancient (Proto-)Germanic languages.
No, they werent. Like storm troopers. No match for the protagonist (Just like it actually was back then).
Especially the guy who played Metellus ,very convincing as a roman, both his latin and his natural pronunciation

The "2000 years later" quotes that follow are from Wikipedia.

Ius vero mundus nullum
Verum autem Roma
i like how they didnt depict Arminius as bearded or wearing out of place germanic armor for the sake of pointing out that he was ethnically germanic, at this point he was very much Romanized, shit he was an officer, so he really woudve been very roman.
A man ahead of his time that's for sure. People like Stilicho*, Alaric, and Ricimer would follow his steps 400 years later.
They should've made him a bit fairer to stand out among the Romans though, the absolute majority of Germans don't have black hair and a skin this dark. He looks like an actual Southern European, which he likely didn't in reality.

Yeap, not gonna lied the first time I was like ptsd Latin memories Couse here in Italy we basically studied Alot Latin and antic Greek and not always is fun.

When i hear them speaking in Latin i was like Now it's worthy!
Ahahahah anch'io
@@okuratnywidz-mk1fk
Hi yes Latin as a metter of fact is REALLY similar to italian. After all latin is the italian language father. So for learn well the language since kids we study latin. Can we undestand it? Depend the time. Couse even latin has is similarity. This latin is hard couse is the oldest one. But for me who had studied for 8 years at school was kinda easy. It stay inside youre brain. The new one thath the vatican use it. Is the more easy and kinda similar to italian.
Italian can easly undestand all the latin language like, spanish,portughese and brazilian portughese. Sometimes even french.
I think it is awesome that the actors took the time to learn Latin, which is a dead language and mostly spoken within the circles of erudites and the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church. I don't blame other productions about ancient Rome where they speak English, there are great (but also inacurate) productions. But this, this is just marvelous.
It's fake when they speak english and don't look latin
@@Sorellalunamistica It's "fake" anyway, because it's a tv series. Who cares? It's not real
Its great to see Romans speaking Latin and cast by Italians. Hopefully we can get a production portraying the glory of Rome with this quality, as most films depict them in a bad way or are just poorly made.
Not all Emperors were born in Rome or even Italy.
Trajan, Hadrian, Constantine the Great, Septimus Serverus, etc., were all born across the Empire.
Don’t forget that most of Italy (including Sicily in the First Punic War) was actually conquered by Etruscan Latins - there was no Italian identity at the time, just a bunch of different tribes and kingdoms who all spoke slightly different languages. The Sabine tribe in Italy, the one famously betrayed by Rome and whose women were kidnapped, spoke Oscan, not Latin.
Likewise their Legions were raised from troops across the Empire and when a soldier completed his term of duty, he would be granted land in a province to farm and raise a family - most likely taking a local wife (as soldiers were forbidden to marry whilst on active service). So his sons, who could themselves have gone on to serve in the legions, would have been from a multi-ethnic background. After a few generations of this, there is no “Roman genetics” only Roman culture and language.
@@bobbybinns379This show takes place in 9 AD.
Just people from Italy had Roman citizenship at the time.
@@edoardobartolucci6891 Under Roman law, citizens of another state that was allied to Rome via treaty were assigned the status of socii. Socii (also known as foederati) could obtain certain legal rights of under Roman law in exchange for agreed upon levels of military service, i.e., the Roman magistrates had the right to levy soldier from such states into the Roman legions.
In addition, plots of land in Nemausus (Nimes - France) were given to veterans of Caesar’s Egyptian campaign. A large number of those settlers would have married local women - either because they had no other prospects or because they were physically maimed from fighting and so would have been deemed an inferior match. Their sons would have been eligible for military service at exactly the time of the Teutoberg disaster.
@@bobbybinns379Ok, but they were Italic settlers anyway (in Nimes).
You are right that Roman citizenship was granted to peregrinii (free foreigners living in Empire's territories outside Ager Romanus, i.e. Italia) in various ways: after military service, or in recognition for individual merits, or in recognition for a city's/ethnicity's loyalty etc).
But they were still a tiny handful during the Augustan age.
Later, they'll become gradually the majority, I agree.
MAN LATIN IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE. its really a centum sister to vedic sanskrit you can clearly see
Imagine HBO's Rome but in Latin... a dream come true
I tried to rewatch Gladiator after seeing this show and was just impossible to see romans speaking english.
Suddenly, this show established a new level of credibility to Rome-related productions
The centurion has a sword on his left side. This is histrically accurate
So he could draw with his right?
@@kazam3527 perhaps so .
Really? I don't know anything about that but if I were to derive anything from it is that Roman Legionarii were to carry their scutum in their left arm and having to draw their gladius from that angle would be cumbersome so they had to place their scabbards on their right. Varus had no such worries.
@@AVGyerra22 Centurions had it on their left for symbolisim

@@peterlustig6888 the ancient historians say he won all his battles against the Germanics, and was close to conquering Germania when the emperor recalled him out of Jealousy of his glory.
@@SelfProclaimedEmperor No. The germanic coalition literally won battles one year after Germanicus was already back in rome. He went there with 30% of the whole roman army and lost 60% of it. Even Tacitus, the Roman historian from whom we know everything about the wars made fun about him.
@@peterlustig6888 What fake history do they teach you in your country?
" Tacitus attributed the recall to Tiberius' jealousy of the glory Germanicus had acquired, and, with some bitterness, claims that Germanicus could have completed the conquest of Germania had he been given full operational independence.[54]"
Germanicus had in effect conquered everything up to the Elbe River in Germania. But this was a temporary conquest as Tiberius recalled him and his legions. Had they been allowed to fortify the region, the Germanic tribes would have been pushed to the eastern bank of the Elbe river permanently.

Rome obviously. Rome is all of the western civilization.
Rome Bro... Even the "Kaiser" is a form of Cesar
thank you very much for making this, it makes the latin more excessible.
note:
according to me, interpunction and translation is slightly off in 1:04, it should be: apud eos, ius vetat; meaning: with/among/according to them, law forbids it
apud + acc, eos is an accusative; ius is a nominative and therefore the subject of vetat.
Two of my most favourite civilizations roma and germania. Along with the mongols and vikings
This scene sums up how Roman arrogance was sometimes what led to revolts against them outside the Empire. In this case it didn't end well for the Romans; "Quinctilius Varus, give me back my Legions!"

According to who? Julius Caesar? Take his commentaries with a grain of salt. He wrote those not to be factual, but to be populr.
Rome lost the 3 biggest (in terms of total troop numbers) battles it ever fought - Cannae, Adrianople and Teutoberg.
Their main strength wasn’t some magic, military invincibility (despite what tv shows tell you) it was their refusal to give up, even after the most horrendous defeats.

Yes finally, proper Mediterranean facial features in the Romans instead of the usual barbarian faces seen in Hollywood.
@@obabas80 the Nordic/Germanic media pushed the scientifically false narrative that Greco-romans were somehow nords
@@jimmya1383 Yeah absolutely, but those germanic nordics completely overrun and defeated the powerful and mighty western roman empire in the end and inherited all the western europe for themselves. Also, in the process they forced replaced the roman nobility, roman great estate owners and the roman elite itself of itallic origin with people of their owns kinsfolk (this means people of germanic origin), that's why today most of the western europe royal lineages and nobility titles have traits back to their germanic invader origin and kingdoms (franks, visigoths and etc). The funny thing about the fall of the mighty roman empire is that the eastern roman empire (the byzantines) played a crucial and decisive role on the fall of the western roman empire itself, because byzantines launched many sucessfull military incursions and expeditions into italy for religious purposes and on the pretext of putting christian emperors loyal to the church and to constantinople (puppets), because the western roman empire was not entirely christian and many important western roman generals and emperors remained pagan and worshipers of the sun. Also, instead of fighting the germanic hordes, the byzantines cowards paid them tribute in order to make them atack the western roman empire.
@@pedroh2671 the eastern Romans, under men like Justinian and generals like belissarius RETOOK Rome from the barbarians for a time and brought it and parts of the western empire back under Greco-Roman control where it always belonged. The Varangian guard you speak of came much later under emperor Basil II. If I’m a German today or “Western European” I would get on my knees and thank the Eastern Romans for cushioning them against a thousand years worth of invasions onto Europe from the Islamic caliphate. While the Eastern Romans protecting Europe and keeping the vital Ancient Greek texts and knowledge under their care, the Germanic hordes were too busy feasting off the dead corpse of Rome.
@@obabas80 keeping the knowledge and the text were cool and great for humanity and civilization. But don't forget that the late roman empire and the byzantine empire have turned into a complex theocratic tyranny (the western part, far less religious fanatic and worshipers of the Sun and indo-european paganism in some ways), endless religious-social strifes provoked by the rise of christianity as the state oficial religion and the political instability were tremendous to the point that the germanic chieftains and warlords provided more stability, justice (they mantained the roman legal system and added some germanic costums), mantained roman institutions (theodoric didnt extingued the roman senate), a better future and security than the roman rotten state could in the settled-conquered areas. Also, the germanic and roman relation through history were ambiguous, read what tacitus and julius caesar wrote about them. But the eastern roman empire was a brutal source of instability and destruction tô the western part, the religious fanatic emperor theodosius of the byzantines marched on italy with Christian Alaric of the visigoths (the same that sacked rome) in a military campaign to depose the western emperor, because he was pagan and reopened the temples of sol invictus and Júpiter. The crazy amount of byzantine Gold that filled the pockets of the huns and the germanic leaders in order tô make them attack the western roman empire. Rome and Constantinople were rivals.
Stwike him centurion wery wuffly
At 1:03 "Tribus hic tamen non intellegent." "But the tribes around will not understand." 'Tribus' (U-declination) is plural in this case.
At 1:08, he says: "quemquam capite damnari ab alio homine." - 'capitis damnare' (gen) is more common but 'capite damnare' (abl) works either. For 'ab alio homine' the initial letter 'h' is deafened by default in classical Latin, otherwise 'omine' is the ablative of 'omen', which makes no sense. The whole phrase translates into: "Among themselves, the law vetoes, that someone will be sentenced to death by anyone else."
Are the helmets accurate? Cause i thought the roman helmet on this era was brass and simple just like in the series Rome.

If you look closely, Arabs , Roman, Greek, Turks, Egyptian has similar facial features
They are Mediterranean race
Greeks, Romans, and some Turks have similar characteristics, but the Arabs don't, I disagree because many Arabs are here and they are totally different, and today's Turks are mostly Europeans who immigrated to Turkey during the Ottoman Empire here. because they have these characteristics, the Turks in ancient times had no European blood, and none of them had the characteristics of today.

The older officer is making a grave mistake by brushing aside the laws of the people he's trying to submit.
Varus served in Syria, where the inhabitants lacked a certain thumos. He is not used to the spiritedness of the Northerners. A grave miscalculation.
What laws? They were lawless savages
@@RexidusUR Yikes. Get an education.
@@tritonlandscaping1505 well there were no actual laws amongst Germanic tribes.
@@jackkelso4611 Every society has laws.
It only took 120 years or cinema to get it right.
The subtitles at 1:02 are inaccurate. What he says is 'tribus hic tamen non intellegent'.
'Intenderit', which appears in the subtitles instead, is in the future perfect. 'They will not have understood.' That is obviously wrong for the scene, so it was corrected to 'intellegent', which is in the future. 'They will not understand.'
I was only a classics student for a couple of years, so I may be wrong about the latin; I am certain that the subtitles are wrong, though.
To the incredible experts studied Latin to provide it for this show: AVE, CAESAR! MORTIRI TE SALUTANT!
And Total war developers so lazy they didn't make the units speak their own languages. It hurts me that Romans speak modern English.
what is the cloak(?) Arminius is wearing historically called?
Where can I download with Eng subtitles
Please for the love of god can we have some Roman movie that have the accuracy like this series but have glorify Roman Legion at the Golden Age of Rome
Latin, the language of ancient Rome, is the mother of Romance languages, the most beautiful languages in the world:

LATIN 🌿SPQR🌿
Fratres, quid facis in vitam, habeat resonare per in aeternum.
ITALIANO 🇮🇹
Fratelli, quello che facciamo nella vita ha il suo eco nell'eternità.
ESPAÑOL 🇪🇦
Hermanos, lo que hacemos en la vida, tiene su eco en la eternidad.
PORTUGUÊS 🇵🇹
Irmãos, o que fazemos na vida tem eco na eternidade.
FRANÇAIS 🇲🇫
Frères, ce que nous faisons dans la vie a son écho dans l'éternité.
ROMÂNĂ 🇷🇴
Fraților, ceea ce facem în viață își are ecoul în eternitate.
My mother language is Spanish, I hate it and its past. Romance is disgusting
Not my cup of tea but e for effort.
όλα χάρη στην ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΓΛΩΣΣΑ που τα Λατινικά υπάρχουν ακόμη και σήμερα, οι Ρωμαίοι δεν ήταν παρά ένα σωρό ιδιοκτήτες σκλάβων που έκλεβαν από άλλους πολιτισμούς, οι Έλληνες επινόησαν την όμορφη αρχιτεκτονική και είχαν τη γλώσσα που προκάλεσε την ύπαρξη των Λατίνων. ΕΛΛΑΔΑ ΓΙΑ ΠΑΝΤΑ.
In English this says: all thanks to the GREEK LANGUAGE that Latin still exists today, the Romans were nothing more than a bunch of slave owners who stole from other cultures, the Greeks invented the beautiful architecture and had the language that caused the Latins to exist. GREECE FOREVER.
It’s also thank to the Ελληνικοί that we in the us have a democratic system.
Frātrēs, quod facimus in vītā habet ēchōn in aeternitāte.
That's the correct way to say it in Latin.
This was actually surprising i learnt latin for 4 years and yet when its spoken i find it really hard to understand also some sentences i found quite weird but i am no expert
1:03 - I think the subtitle is wrong. I’m very sure he’s saying “intellegent” here not “intenderit”. It makes more sense and matches the subtitles better and I swear I hear /l/ and /g/
so funny hearing this now since i had latin in school
Versace was fashion even at that time
1:03 it must be a very unclearly spoken "intellegit" as present tense which means "the tribes don't understand this".
Does it sounds similar to italian and spanish for a english speaker?
Not Spanish. It is slightly Italian but not really. You can tell it is a Romance language due to the cadence and of course the words.
Uhm algunas cosas que en realidad tienen relevo en la serie con el contexto historico pero bueno así no deja de tener batallas épicas e incluso mejor que la última legión
Roma antiqua in lingua eius pulcherrima, et linguis novis
Great way to try your hand at latin if your trying to learn. You can understand how they said some words
0:15 don't know if this is a main character but if so it seems like they picked someone resembling Russel Crowe
He looks nothing like Russel Crowe.
At (1:03) I hear: "Tribus hic tamen non intellegit"
The thing is, germanic tribes have always been indigenous and underdeveloped peoples until very recent times, writing strange runes on rocks, killing animals with their hands like savages, practicing paganism, inbreeding with their mothers and sisters, and serving as soil for twisted ideologies like nazism. Rome, as its counterpart, is the most glorious thing to happen over this earth.
*LEGIO ÆTERNA VICTRIX*
@@epg96 Agreed. There are many reasons I'm pro-rome, and this is one of them.
@@user-el5mg4it9t pro-rome? What?
@@epg96
All of the science you use comes from Germany actually, especially Berlin. And I'm not gonna count other Germanic countries who're the world leading ones in science, culture, technology. They created the western civilization not Romans or Greeks.
Most of the things you said just lies 😉, especially inbreeding. Look at the incest ratio of Europe and you're gonna see Italy before Germany or Netherland.
Welcome to Germanic centuries 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇩🇪
Um Romans at this time served the Roman pantheon, not God and Jesus, the Romans in the Empire's start were pagan. Christians were either Greek outcasts or persecuted outright.
@@sevgiakpinar8821 spoken like a true barbarian
If you like that you should also look the catholic Traditional Latin Mass.
Roman: “There is no Germanic Law, there is only Rome”
Angles and the Saxons: “Sorry what’s that? Can’t hear you over my Common Law”
Joke surely landed but let's straighten some things up. There was no common law in England or any other place in Europe until the late IX century AC. Romans were practicing a complex and scientifically advanced legal system 1200 years before that point. Plus: there would be no common law as we intend it today without the Norman invasion of England from the continent and the later influence of canon law (itself heavily influenced by roman law culture) in matters like equity etc. The western world is constantly praising and glorifying Rome's political and military power but it's their law what we truly should be thankful for.
The Romans had a form of Common Law as well. Most of the anglosaxon things have Roman roots.
로마인들이 영어가 아니라 자신들의 고전 라틴어로 대사를 하는 것을 보고 나는 울었다.
There is only ROMA🇮🇹❤
El latin suena tan cabron y potente
VERUM AUTEM ROMA
Latin is both beautiful and powerful at the same time.
In che lingua è stata scritta la Magna Carta?
Gary Neville speaks good italian.......
Verum autem ROMA!
So, is Caesar a Black Lesbian in this Tv Show or can I watch it?
maybe the nest season is about the battle of idistaviso, where the romans extracted revenge
If the whole world spoke one language it would be latin
Except it's a dead language.
We ended up with English though
1:00 "inteliget = to understand" not "intenderit".
intellegere = to understand, intellexerit or intellexerint depends on how many tribes Varus refers. Actually I dont know. I mean indenderit is not completely false but I think it has distinct meaning and does not exactly translate as "will not have understood" in English.
or intellegit seems much better candidate as it is actually what Varus pronounces.
Is this show any good and will it show how Rome lost its way?
And the name Arminius is in short Armin (often name in Bosnia???) and today represents the German name Herman.
