Romanitas and the Latin Language

What did Latin mean to the identity of an Ancient Roman citizen? What importance could be placed on standard versus regional accents? What impact has the prestige of Latin had on thousands of years of Latin writers and speakers, up to the present day? In this video, I explore the article "Romanitas and the Latin Language" by JN Adams, offering my personal insights, and what it means to us who speak Latin in modern times.
