Latin Name Pronunciation

[Phaichtos]

Would there be a difference in pronunciation between The Western Roman Empire and The Eastern Roman Empire? Maybe the soft "C" was Eastern and the hard "C" was Western or Vice-Versa.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it would have been the opposite, actually. The Eastern Empire was largely Greek-speaking anyway, so I would imagine when they spoke Greek-accented Latin, all the C's would have remained hard. The West, on the other hand, is where we see (for example) French with its characteristic softening of...well...almost everything :mrgreen: So perhaps it was well on its way toward this end during the time of the high Empire (and even before, really).
