Editing Old Latin (section)

==In popular fiction==
The Italian director [[Matteo Rovere]] has shot the 2019 film ''[[The First King: Birth of an Empire]]'' and the 2020–2022 TV series ''[[Romulus (TV series)|Romulus]]'' with dialog in a reconstructed version of Old Latin.
The linguists have had to make concessions for ease of filming and not going too much against the expectations of viewers.
For example, the character of the Lady of the Wolves is {{lang|la|Lukwòsom Pòtnia}} (an allusion to Homer's {{Transliteration|grc|[[Potnia theron]]}}) since Latin {{lang|la|domina}} did not have the desired nuances.
Before [[rhotacism]], Old Latin had lots of sibilants, so some had to be substituted to ease the actors' work.<ref name="Gargantini">{{cite news |last1=Gargantini |first1=Gabriele |title=Seike Romulos deiksed |url=https://www.ilpost.it/2020/11/20/romulus-protolatino/ |access-date=19 October 2022 |work=Il Post |date=20 November 2020 |language=it-IT}}</ref>
