The letter C was the Latin form of K. In ancient times it was always pronounced "hard," as in cat. The name Cicero, for example would have been pronounced Kee-KARE-own. Later, C became palatalized to a CH sound before the front vowels e and i, as it remains in Italian, and later still was further reduced to an S sound before those vowels, as it remains in French and hence in English.
