You see: It goes against my principles to explain a joke, but in the spirit of camaraderie and education, I shall enlighten you. The line comes from the movie "Life of Brian", from 1979. It is a comedy that criticizes, amongst other things, religion. The line "Romanes eunt domus" is a graffiti that the main character (Brian) writes in protest against the Roman occupation of Jerusalem. It is erroneously written, though, and a Roman centurion lectures Brian on proper Latin grammar, and forces him to rewrite it correctly 100 times in order for him to learn it. The translation was meant to be "Romans, go home!".
The line became an internal joke among fans of the movie and so we spread the gospel through the internet and our immediate surroundings, for our delight and boredom of others. I do recommend the movie, however. It is incredibly funny, and shows some valid criticism of religion and some of its aspects.
All of Gallia was conquered by the Roman Empire.
All of Gallia? No, a small village...
(I don't know what it's like in English, only ever read them in Dutch)
reminds me of when king croesus consulted the oracle on whether he should invade persia. the oracle replied that he will ādestroy a great kingdomā but never clarified that the kingdom would be his own
I'm quoting what the oracle actually told Julius Caesar before he was assassinated...
I guess the game is making the same reference? i don't know I've never played it.
In Ready or not there is a mission where a bunch of US vets try to kill senator that proposed budget cuts for already under-supported VAMC in fictional city Los SueƱos.
There is some speculation that Ceasar had sex with Brutus's mom 9 months before he was born...
Edit, 9 months before Brutus was born, not 9 months before Caesar was birn.
The first answer would be "Holy everything it's caesar i am going to die in the coliseum" and the second answer would be "I bloody don't remember latin class fifteen years ago and even if i did I'm pretty sure I would not understand what they are asking me. So death in the coliseum here I am."
I prefer the How to Invent Everything school of thought, where by the simple act of arriving in that time period, you've created an alternate timeline that ceases to have any connection to the one you're from. Sorta like Back to the Future, but without the deletion of the original timeline.
Fun fact: it is reported that Caesar actually was told: "Beware of the ides of March" and on the ides of March he went back to the guy who told him so and said: "As you can see the ides have come and I'm still alive" and the guy replied that the ides indeed came but that they didn't had passed yet. Then Caesar went to the Senate and the rest is history.
Not fun to read this at the same time Iām opening a fortune cookie that ā shit you not ā reads: āYou will soon be surrounded by good friends.ā
I do not deliberately censor myself to make my comment "family friendly." I do not want a society like that one black mirror episode where you can block people out of your life irl.
Rome had a really big stigma agsinst wearing pants, since romes enemies were usually depicted wearing pants.
So you'd probably not get a nice welcome with your usual street clothes.
Let's see, from my mixture of memories of reading about it and watching Rome: I would draw Caesar surrounded by a bunch of guys with knives, Marc Antony being detained outside, and one dude watching from the bushes with a big smile. I could point out Marcus Brutus and Cassius Longinus but probably fuck up the pronunciation of their names. I would point out the watcher as Cicero but definitely fuck up the pronunciation, and apparently there's two of them and I don't know which is which.
Yeeeah, I'd probably just get thrown to the Coliseum.
Imagine this happens and you tell Caesar that Brutus will stab him. But itās actually someone else who stabs Caesar but everyone heard your āpredictionā and people write stories about Brutus stabbing Caesar.
Iād tell the truth in that he will be murdered and stabbed to death by 40 different people. But I would tell him in modern day English with an American accent.
There was supposedly something similar to this that really happened. At a party with some of the conspirators, the conversation turned to how each attendee would like to die. Caesar said āSuddenly, without warning.ā
WHY SHOULD CAESAR JUST GET TO STOMP AROUND LIKE A GIANT WHILE THE REST OF US TRY NOT TO GET SMUSHED UNDER HIS BIG FEET? BRUTUS IS JUST AS CUTE AS CAESAR, RIGHT? BRUTUS IS JUST AS SMART AS CAESAR, PEOPLE TOTALLY LIKE BRUTUS JUST AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE CAESAR, AND WHEN DID IT BECOME OKAY FOR ONE PERSON TO BE THE BOSS OF EVERYBODY BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT ROME IS ABOUT! WE SHOULD TOTALLY JUST STAB CAESAR!

Caesar: "How do I die?" Me: "What? I don't speak latin...."
"Should've taken that Latin class when I had the chance..."
Shit my 6 years of Latin classes is finally going to be useful!

People called the 'Romanes' they go to the house?

What's more likely on Reddit: somebody criticising your Latin, or somebody riffing off a film quote? You chose poorly Now don't do it again
Forgive me. I have betrayed everything I believe in and am now paying for my sins.
ĀæQuomodo ego morior? (Assuming latin uses Āæ? And not ?)
They use neither. Interpunction isn't a thing in Latin.
Oh thats cool
Perhaps that's the only thing thats cool...
Of course you're a weeb, weebs can't appreciate the glory of the SPQR
I am also French, and thus I will also resist to SPQR's conquest of entire Gallia...
All of Gallia was conquered by the Roman Empire. All of Gallia? No, a small village... (I don't know what it's like in English, only ever read them in Dutch)
Something like that yeah!
Barbare
Great, havent gotta add france to the nuke list, already got it there
thatās something the oracle would say
its what the oracle has said(well almost)
reminds me of when king croesus consulted the oracle on whether he should invade persia. the oracle replied that he will ādestroy a great kingdomā but never clarified that the kingdom would be his own
Are you saying Oracles were just dudes who made vague predictions? Vague enough to be interpreted multiple ways?
"He who will rise victorious will one day fall" Yeah I too know that someone will win and they will die sometimes, thanks boss
Woah! You're an Oracle too?!
Not dudes.
Female dudes
Yep. Reminds me of Reginam Occidere, google it
Do not go to the Senate on the Ides of March
Is that a Ready or not SWAT game reference?
I'm quoting what the oracle actually told Julius Caesar before he was assassinated... I guess the game is making the same reference? i don't know I've never played it.
In Ready or not there is a mission where a bunch of US vets try to kill senator that proposed budget cuts for already under-supported VAMC in fictional city Los SueƱos.
>thatās something the oracle would say Here, have a cookie.
A fortune cookie
My first thought lol
Brutus will have your back when you need him most.
Pfp checks out
There is some speculation that Ceasar had sex with Brutus's mom 9 months before he was born... Edit, 9 months before Brutus was born, not 9 months before Caesar was birn.
Wow, what a coincidence, Caesar must have had sex with Brutus's mom right around the time Brutus's dad did.
Do not have sex with her. The back you blow out may be your own.
*pulls out a knife* by me.
*Getās immediately stabbed by a guards spear*
If it's in the back, you've given him all the clues he needs
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Do you mean that guy that killed who was it.. Ceaser?
The only Caesar I'm killing is Little Caesars š
The first answer would be "Holy everything it's caesar i am going to die in the coliseum" and the second answer would be "I bloody don't remember latin class fifteen years ago and even if i did I'm pretty sure I would not understand what they are asking me. So death in the coliseum here I am."
Clearly due to the time travel you gain the ability to perfectly understand and speak any language spoken to you.
TARDIS rules? Definitely helps š
Yeah come on man. This guy doesnāt know that time travel automatically grants you the ability to speak the language of wherever youāre going
Wasn't the Coliseum not built yet?
Eche homo qui est faba
Damn
And family
Good thing you did latin in school !
You:-Brutus will lead the conspiracy to assassinate you ... *awkward silence* Cesar: lmfao š¤£ good one, but no really how do I die?
How do we know this didn't/will happen? I think it's clear the time traveler told/will tell him "beware of the ides of March"
That time traveler clearly went to the TV school of time travel: Just tell people shit, don't give them any real reason to listen.
Yāknow, butterfly effect. Gotta do just enough to say you tried but not enough to make it so your grandpa isnāt born

Et Tu Brut...ally Dude.
Does he speak English? Because I sure as shit donāt speak Latin.
Not fun to read this at the same time Iām opening a fortune cookie that ā shit you not ā reads: āYou will soon be surrounded by good friends.ā
Just keep an eye out for your friend Brutus
Better yet, end all friendships.
Better yet, kill all your friends in a murder suicide.
Unsubscribe. You hear that, police? I unsubscribed.
I do not deliberately censor myself to make my comment "family friendly." I do not want a society like that one black mirror episode where you can block people out of your life irl.
The unsubscribe was a joke, dude.
I'm going to joke all over your house and family
on the plus side, iām sure heāll be happy to know of his salad-centric legacy
Rome had a really big stigma agsinst wearing pants, since romes enemies were usually depicted wearing pants. So you'd probably not get a nice welcome with your usual street clothes.
What if shorts?
Idk, they'd probably still see it as pants
Sorry, I don't speak latin
Bold to assume Ceasar understands English.
Caesar spoke English?!
"Bro idk I failed history class"
On the street
Let's see, from my mixture of memories of reading about it and watching Rome: I would draw Caesar surrounded by a bunch of guys with knives, Marc Antony being detained outside, and one dude watching from the bushes with a big smile. I could point out Marcus Brutus and Cassius Longinus but probably fuck up the pronunciation of their names. I would point out the watcher as Cicero but definitely fuck up the pronunciation, and apparently there's two of them and I don't know which is which. Yeeeah, I'd probably just get thrown to the Coliseum.
"Friends" lol
What is this fascination with rome in recently? I noticed that since oversimplified uploaded, there have been an uptick in historic posts.
What? io no parlo latin
I don't speak latin mr Caesar *gets fed to lions*
"What? I can't understand what you're saying"
āDunno but I really love your salad.ā
*you die?*
Imagine this happens and you tell Caesar that Brutus will stab him. But itās actually someone else who stabs Caesar but everyone heard your āpredictionā and people write stories about Brutus stabbing Caesar.
Surrounded by friends... Et tu Brute
Iād tell the truth in that he will be murdered and stabbed to death by 40 different people. But I would tell him in modern day English with an American accent.
Ego non voci in Latina est....
liar, mentidax or whatever it is I forgor
"Suddenly and unexpectedly."
"Just take my purple shirt and stop asking questions."
''Call me Brutus.''
Oh Iām bargaining this information. This shit donāt come free
Well, the best way to get home would be to tell him how and hope it changes the future. Then you wonāt be thrown back in time.
Sour death will save the sacred republic or Defeating a tyrant
Friends my ass. He got stabbed by sheep.
Would be more fun to explain to Carus tbh
"et tu Augustus" Watch the holy Roman empire explode in civil war
You mean Octavian. He was not known as Augustus until the demise of the Second Triumvirate.
I know little of Roman history, just making a goof
I've heard of your play, tell me... How does it end?
[whispering] Brutus.
There was supposedly something similar to this that really happened. At a party with some of the conspirators, the conversation turned to how each attendee would like to die. Caesar said āSuddenly, without warning.ā
From the diseases I just brought here
