Question from my daughter the Latin teacher:
"I am supposed to give a brief statement to a bunch of HS students tomorrow about a potential "social gaffe' which could occur if they ever traveled back in time to ancient Rome. So far all I can think of is :
1. If they went back in time and asked for butter they would be thought to be a barbarian
2. Men swore oaths by holding their hand on their genitals - not sure I want to share this one...
Any other thoughts?"
