Secondly, and more specifically, what would be the status of final -m at that time, particularly at the northern border of the Roman Empire? Would it be feasible for a conlang to assume certain phonological effects (e.g. lengthening as a side effect of nasalisation) of final -m? Or has -m disappeared completely already without any trace?
It would probably be gone already by then. Not even the Classical poets pronounced it, apparently.
Further, what would be the status of the adverb? When did the 'mente' forms emerge and be used exclusively colloquially to replace the '-iter' morpheme?
No idea.

"Maybe" is a strange word. When mum or dad says it
it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
means "no"!
