Do you think ancient Romans looked and talked and acted as goofy as modern Italians?

yup

I truly believe they gesticulated the way Italians do now.

goofy mentioned

Latin sounds much less goofy than italian

now that I think about it - latin speaking people would have the same mannerism as the portuguese while speaking

I assume that HBO Rome is accurate and it does in fact portray them that way

the patricians were a different race that entered the peninsula and conquered all the italic/latin people and took their language. the patricians were also extinct by the end of the empire

Yeah. Maybe even more so. Just look at their stupid graffiti.

arr rook same arr sound same arr act same
that's like asking if "old church slavonic" speaking people would gesticulate the same as modern day bulgarians
(they would as it's pretty much the same language)
