Like if it is Wegetius instead of Vegetius, is it Wetruwius instead of Vetruvius? :?
I just like the fact that if they carved it on a wall, Vesuvius would read VESVVIVS. Try saying "vesvvivs" five times fast :wink:

I heard that by that time one wouldd no longer pronounce the -us ending.

Wegetio
Wetroowio
Wesoovio or Wesoowio
