it actually is accusative, not locative

No-one's getting the point here, are they?Every civilisation thus far mentioned was, indeed, "standing on the shoulders of Giants" who came before them.You can't attribute the modern world to any of them - you have to attribute it to ALL OF THEM.In trying to prove which is the supposed "best" civilisation, you're only actually proving that there is no such thing - they're all just points in the string of HUMAN evolution."Them" is a proper subset of "us". There is only human civilisation.

Screw the Greeks. They got their gods, their Alphabet, their knowledge of sailing, EVERYTHING, including Europa, Hercules (Melchart), etc., etc., from the PHOENICIANS, who, in 1120 BCE, had already established Europe's first city in Cadiz, Spain (Gaddes, Sapan). That would be 100's of years before the Greeks stopped fucking young boys... oh, that's right - they never did.

This so reminds me of my Latin classes in the British Boarding school I attended in Malta...100 times, or your for it, lad!

I guess it's a natural tendency to assume unknown words are names. (So do many online translation programs.) On a Latin test, I had to translate "Ubi filius nautae est?" and forgot what "ubi" meant, so instead of "Where is the sailor's son?" I wrote "Is Ubi the sailor's son?" The teacher took off a point and wrote "Beautiful!"

No. That's why the guard says "People called Romanes." Romanes isn't a word as far as I know.

I know it would still be Romani, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the vocative rather than the nominative in this case?
