Nearly all citizens in the empire spoke Latin. It was the official language of the government so learning it was necessary to be involved. Latin became the starting point for many of the world’s great languages like Italian, Spanish and French. Below you’ll see that it also had a big impact on English!
Look at these examples of words with Latin roots :
Ignis = Fire Manus = Hand Amare = To Love Pedis = Foot Magna = Great
