Mah Fellow Forum Members,
Last week I was sent an email by one of the local reinactment people and at the end of my return response I stated " ROMA VICTA!" I was quickly and harshly repremanded for actually stating " Defeat to Rome!" rather than " VICTORY TO ROME!" VERY disheartening and down right shameful/embarrasing for one of Roman decent so might I ask one of your more knowledgable mavens out there what is the appropriate proclaimation. One said " ROMA VICTRIX" yet another said "ROMA VICTOR!" My father (God rest his soul) must be rolling in his grave saying "DISGRAZIA figlio mia"!! I am going to replace my pic here of one wearing a fools cap instead.
Would be real grateful foe anyone to come in here and tweek me hard on the nose while imparting the correct/appropriate phrasiology.
Many thanks!
Titus
