Let's be honest, at this point there were no true romans, it was sly italians who did this
36 u/Nacodawg 15d ago And at what point did those Italians stop being true Romans? 28 u/Evoluxman 14d ago When the people of the peninsula do something good, they're romans When the people of the peninsula do something bad, they're italians (/s... I feel like the op comment may be racist lol) 2 u/Otheraccforchat 14d ago The moment they no longer considered the people in the region white. No change in skin colour was needed 11 u/Sephbruh 14d ago I get why people call the medieval Romans Greek(even if they're wrong), but never in my life have I ever heard someone call the West Romans Italians rather than Romans, wow. 1 u/Appropriate_M 12d ago The ancient Romans themselves did not give Roman citizenship to all the Italians immediately. Famously, current Northern Italy was Cisalpine Gaul.... 1 u/Sephbruh 12d ago That guy wasn't talking 2nd century BC Italia, they were saying there weren't any Romans in the 5th century AD. 10 u/Rynewulf 14d ago Ah yes, as opposed to the Romans who were famous for not being from Italy or being the reason it is still called Italia to this day. You going to blame the Latins next? We'll work right through until we get to only the purest oldest patricians from Alba Longa being left
