Latin notes

First of all, the most obvious thing that someone with knowledge of Latin will notice is that all the instances of the letter "u" are written as "V".  That's because there was only one letter that filled both the niche of a consonant sounding like "w" and as a vowel sounding like our modern vowel "u" (pronounced "oo" as in "moon").  The consonantal "u" later changed to the sound of our English "v", but during the Classical Period of Latin, "Veni, vidi, vici" was pronounced "waynee, weedy, wicky".  So "V" was used to write both letters, especially in inscriptions, for many centuries after the Birth of Christ.
