#seriously dont date a roman
date a roman who…
- upholds the mos maiorum
- is cool with worshiping your gods, too
- can tell you everything the Romans have ever done for your province
- can tell you everything your province has ever done for Rome
- doesn’t laugh at your accent when you speak Latin
- makes an equal effort to learn your language
- is committed to resisting barbarian invasions
- doesn’t participate in palace coups or civil wars
- performs his/her civic duties gladly
- pays his/her taxes
- has ascended suo anno through the entire cursus honorum
- will instinctively form a testudowith two dozen other random countrymen if you give them tower shields and start shooting arrows at them
- favors the same color as you at the chariot races
- has an education in the triviumand the quadrivium
Sadly there is no such Roman. They are too blinded to their own privilege.
