    “What’s this, then? ‘Romanes Eunt Domus’? ‘People called Romanes they go the house’?”

    “It says ‘Romans, go home’!”

    “No it doesn’t.”

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

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

          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

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

          Not even that. I’m pretty sure domus is conjugated in a way that doesn’t fit in the sentence at all. I don’t know how to express the error faithfully in English, but “Romanses are going. House.” might be the closest I can put it.
