Queen's Latin
The Queen's Latin is a trope in film, television and video games in which characters in historical dramas or historical fantasy settings speak with British accents, particularly Received Pronunciation (RP), despite not being British and the story not being set in Britain. Sometimes referred to as imperial RP, ancient RP, Roman RP, or medieval RP, the trope is commonly associated with depictions of ancient civilizations, classical antiquity, medieval Europe, and fantasy worlds inspired by pre-modern societies, though it has been most strongly associated with the Roman Empire.
