Can't help you much with the V's, but I just read a book that used a lot of latin, and they said that the 'high class' romans, of which Pilate would have been one, pronounced latin in the spanish style, and didn't pronounce the TH sounds at all and used very sibilant S's. And if it was in the spanish style, the V's may well have been pronounced as W's, or something similar. -- Hundreds Injured in Slugville Salt Factory Explosion http://www.bonestructure.net ---- Screen-L is sponsored by the Telecommunication & Film Dept., the University of Alabama: http://www.tcf.ua.edu
