"What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?"

"It says 'Romans, go home'!"

"No it doesn't."

What's latin for "Roman"?

What's the plural for "-anus"?

How often did the hoplite style shield result in an arrow to the shin or knee?

I don’t think the Roman’s or Greeks had B 17 bombers

Of course not: it makes sense that Bomber numbers were much lower in Ancient times. Also the Romans would've used roman numerals.

So Roman bombers would probably be B II, B III, maybe even B IV

Do you have a source on that?

[-] Batman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

maybe they were all shot down due to sampling bias? would have been B XVII .

It's "Romans go home" in shitty Latin that's wrong in about one to three ways from what little I can remember.

You're reading this meme in the voice of Smith as a Roman now.
