@lisamanelli Abs te dissentio. licet mutabilis sit Fortuna, est (in hoc saltem spectaculo) admodum bellula.

Notice this: in this video, the language they speak is a combination: classical Latin and a vulgar language, especially, the guard saying, eggiannunc edo with Italic vowel length and ggia sound, unlike etiam nunc edo. From iam came gia'. Add to this, the English accent, arguebly a small amount.

@yeolstrat It means "My life, not (my) desire". It's not grammatically correct; it should read "Mea vita, haud desiderium". 

[yeolstrat]

Meus vita , haud desiderium

Is anyone able to tell me what this means? And if it is grammatically correct.

Thir girl is the most annoying thing on youtube! Go home, stop speaking latin!

My greatest interest is to know how the different varieties of vulgar Latin were spoken over the Roman Empire, but that's probably hard to say...

Wow, great to find this here on You Tube. 'The Consolation of Philosophy" is one of my favorite books btw. :-)
