Flāvius = blonde, yellow
/fla-wjus/
The 'us' ending is never stressed.

Why? Try saying it, Fla as in "flask", Wee as in "wee", you know, pee, and Us as in "Push".
>>2593964
> Us as in "Push"
Why? There is no evidence for this.
'um' was pretty much gone, and 'us' was on the way out; if anything, it was a very unstressed, short /əs/.
reminder that Julius Cæsar is pronounced Yooliyoos Kaisar
it's also Kikero, not Sissy-roe

They didn't have 'strokes' in the ancient world, that's a construct produced by modern medicine.
