    But they weren’t romans tho, they only became romans when someone called the place “Rome” So in order for them to be called romans, they mustve vuilt the place and then named it. Before that they were called sth else.

      A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

      There were plenty of people living in the New England colonies before they started referring to themselves as ‘Americans.’

      Maybe they called themselves Romans and were like hey what should we name our city? How about we name it after ourselves and call it “Rome”
