#roman names

LIVE

When you, your sisters, your aunts and your grandmother are all called Julia and someone calls one of you to the atrium, there is a stampede

thoodleoo:

really love reading about the meanings of greek and roman names especially when you put them next to each other because ancient greek names are like “this is War-wounded, son of Griefbringer and grandson of The Hated One and Plague-Upon-His-People” while roman names are like “this is Onion McDrinksalot and he belongs to one of the most important families to ever live in rome”

#names in greek myth esp go hard like achilles and odysseus and pentheus are all terrible and loathsome#meanwhile romans are like. here’s cicero his name means chickpea and hes our president

there is no exaggeration here whatsoever. greek and roman names are equally bonkers in different ways.

i tell a lie

a real roman would be called like

FIFTH DRINKSALOT ONION (THE PROCRASTINATOR)
