Here's an old quote from KFR concerning the name Roma Victor

"KFR wrote:

After the fall of the empire the phrase "Roma Victor"(Rome the victor) became a bit of a joke thanks to the overwhelming use of the term "Roma Victa"(Rome has been conquered). Actually there's quite a bit of debate about this phrase. Almost all agree that there was a phrase that sounds like this that was used by the Roman legions as a battle cry. Some people think it should be "Roma Victrix" (a more appropriate feminine form), some people think this, some people think that...

You have to love history for the diversity of 'facts' that can be argued.

Anyway it was a common theme in the GOCaT applications and we felt that the "Roma Victor" form was the most appropriate for the modern day world to get the idea.

So thanks very much for the all the suggestions and I'm glad you like it! "

Would "victor roma" work just as well?
If the game was named Victor Roma, then the abbreviation would be VR - short for Virtual Reality, which would be perfect; instead of RV - short for Recreational Vehicle.
But, in a way, I suppose "recrecational vehicle" describes the game also.


you try it everywere don't you ::::18::
