there were once Romans there

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

[-] Usernamealreadyinuse@lemmy.world 63 points 3 days ago

How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

Does it work? I just need to sustain, not decimate

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

It's about 90% effective.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 7 points 3 days ago

Epic self-burn?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Not as much as their republic

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 21 points 3 days ago

Kind of weird since Roman's where like everywhere in eruope at one point.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 2 days ago
[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I assume so. Just compare the amount of resources both parties are able to invest in PR - if the Romans had defeated them, you'd have heard by now.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Rome shall rise again!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I thought Julius Caesar declared them gods after two of em completed 11 tasks, with a distant ancestor of John Oliver officiating the tasks, and then the entire village broke The Circus Maximus during the 12th task......

Not so much north of the Rhine, which still leaves a lot of Europe Roman-free.

Not Romania though, well…old Romania yes, but they moved it

(They controlled present Romania as well)

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

Lol wtf, sounds like a interesting history.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 19 points 3 days ago

(the rabbit hole was literally just the first paragraph on Wikipedia about Romania)

[-] uis@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

Started at Information Retrival and ended up at collective intelligence​.

Thank you, wikipedia, for good exploratory search

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 32 points 3 days ago

I think it's called a rabbit hole because rabbits live there.

[-] mynameisigglepiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Historically

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Romania used to be called Dacia before the Romans committed genocide over there. It was named after the car brand.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 29 points 3 days ago

The word skeleton comes from the Ancient Greek word skeletós, which means "dried up".

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago

Does that mean Skeletor is one who dries people?

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Skeletor is Ben Shapiro's alter ego confirmed!

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Word skeletons are just strings of letters...I thought.

[-] stardustpathsofglory@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I guess it would have been faster if he just looked in the bears cave instead of a rabbit hole.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

It is known that bear caves typically contain libraries on etymology of country names.

[-] 56_@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Maybe it's a soy sauce situation. Bears are named after bears cave.

eunt domus

Spoilers for Life of Brian, which I still need to see. But seems pretty funny.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

One of the many places that claim to be the real descendant of the Roman Empire.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

According to the anthem, romanians claim to have the blood of the romans and the name of Trajan, meaning that everyone in Romania had fathers that had fathers that had fathers... that were the sons of the roman emperor that conquered Dacia

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
[-] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

If I remember it right, you used the name of the people that used the name of the people that claimed that.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You remember wrong. It just means "of rome" and it's that because it was a roman province. There's a difference between "of rome" which is what "român" means and "the true descendants of Rome" which is what you're claiming. We've never claimed to be more Roman than Italians or anything. That'd be stupid.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

Its called bears cave because bears made it

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 4 points 3 days ago

Modern cave came from Old French which took it from Latin cavea

[-] lath@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Is bare cave a pleonasm?
