RivI DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS MATERIAL. After 10 months, I'm back with another subtitling attempt! This is the final scene of the second episode. I am not affiliated with Netflix's "Barbarians" show at all and have been making these videos in an unofficial, amateur capacity. I'll continue to post videos like this when my schedule allows, but please do not expect a consistent stream of content while I'm still working (procrastinating) on my PhD. Very excited for Season 2!

P.S. Jumping on the Wordle train-- have you tried Latin Wordle? wordle.latindictionary.ioBarbarians (2020) S1xE2 Latin subtitles Varus, Segestes, PelagiosRiv2021-03-11 | I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS MATERIAL. EDIT: at (1:05) the captions say "ti" but the audio says "tibi". My bad, should have reviewed closer before publishing. Another attempt at subtitling! This time I've included two shorter clips together, since they bookend the same conversation. Segestes' line at the end about being able to influence things in Rome's interest was very difficult to discern, so there may well be errors there.Centurion Digital Painting Timelapse VideoRiv2021-01-23 | I started trying to teach myself how to do digital paintings a few years ago and have been slowly working on this one since October. This is not my first digital painting, but it is my first timelapse progress video.Barbarians (2020) S1xE1 Latin subtitles Metellus, Segimer, SegestesRiv2020-12-22 | I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS MATERIAL. This is my third attempt to add Latin subtitles by ear to scenes from this show (Netflix Original "Barbarians"). Rather than putting notes in the description (which no one seems to read, judging by some of the comments on the previous two videos), I have now put a few notes in the upper left corner of the screen to comment on choices I made for the corresponding subtitles.
If you would like to request that I try a specific scene next, please just comment the episode and starting timestamp and I will give it a try, but some of the Latin-speaking actors do not annunciate clearly at all. Before switching to this video, I had been stuck on a single line from Varus for hours while trying to caption the scene in which he learns the eagle had been stolen.Barbarians (2020) S1xE3 Latin subtitles Varus, child ArminiusRiv2020-10-30 | I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS MATERIAL. This is another attempt to transcribe the spoken Latin into captions. I've decided not to add notes to this one, since the only words I really struggled to discern were the part of Varus' second line which I ended up leaving as "de his rebus autem." If anyone has an alternate suggestion (or even edits/corrections on any part) I would be very interested, so please comment. EDIT: "autem" should be "haud".
Tangentially, I love how they blend the Germanic and Roman folklore about mythic wolves to enhance the portrayal of culture clash and the Roman threat perceived by the tribes.Barbarians (2020) S1xE1 Latin subtitles Varus, Arminius, Metellus, GernotRiv2020-10-27 | I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THIS MATERIAL. EDIT: (00:20) "tribum" should be "tribuum" (pl, gen for partitive genitive with "pars")
This scene in Latin is from the first episode of the new Netflix original "Barbarians" or "Barbaren". Though I haven't found an official copy of the Latin script, I have added Latin captions by ear and slightly modified parts of the English subtitles provided by Netflix. My Latin captions may be incorrect in some places, so I have provided commentary below on the parts about which I was less sure. As a student and lover of Latin, this show's commitment to having the Romans speak Latin the whole way through is something I never thought I'd have the privilege to see and I am hoping desperately for a season 2. The writers' use of idiomatic language, the vocative for direct address (unlike almost every other show/movie trying to use Latin I've seen), and even the pronunciation of 'v' as 'w' are all immesely appreciated.
Notes: - (1:03) though the audio sounds a bit like "intendagit", which wouldn't make much sense, I've guessed and captioned it "intenderit" (3rd, singular, futperf, ind, act), which works grammatically but may be stretching the meaning of "intendo" unless it's an idiom I don't know. They may have meant "intellegit" (3rd, singular, pres, ind, act), which is much closer in meaning and grammar to the original Netflix subtitle translation ("The tribes don't understand this."), but the audio sounds significantly more like inteND- than inteLL-. The English captions make the subject seem plural, but it sounds singular throughout.
- (1:08) my choice of "omine" rather than a form of "omnis" may be contentious. I've taken "ab alio omine" (singular, neuter, ablative) as roughly "by any other token", which is not reflected in the English. What they translate as "a man cannot sentence another man to die" can be understood more literally as "the law (ius) forbids (vetat) that heads/lives (capita) be condemned (damnari) by another ____ (ab alio ___)." The inflected ending, to me, sounds quite clearly like -e, but for that final word to be a form of "omnis", it would have to be either "omni" to match "alio" or "omnia" to match "capita"-- "omne" is tempting because it matches "capita" in case and gender, but it doesn't match in number. "Omine" was my next best guess, and seems to work with the audio.
- (1:17) I've punctuated "opu'st" to reflect that it's a prodelision of "opus est", an idiom which implies need/obligation and which typically takes the ablative. This makes sense with the ablative case of "eis experto".
