Hi all
Just a quick base touch to confirm I'm still alive. And looking.
It's all evidence of an identity called Roman. The catch is what did these guys mean by "Roman" when the city at the heart of their homeland was no longer Rome? This is where I submerge again - I found this really neat article or book online about roman identity. No, I didn't make a note of it - I know, I know...
Hopefully next time I come up for air I'll be able to wave it like a lobster and announce I've found it. Interesting - that note about the Greeks in the 1940s calling themselves Romans. Bet they were popular with the local resistance!
Cheers
