Date: August 28th, 2025 3:41 AM Author: Smoky mother mad-dog skullcap There are many named after the Greeks (Trojans, Spartans, Titans), the Norse (Vikings), even the Irish (Celtics and Fighting Irish), but none are named after the Romans. Why? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5767034&forum_id=2).#49218557) |
