Imagine a Britain without wine, roads, Caffè Nero, baths, Cornettos, Aston Villa, aqueducts, alphabetti spaghetti, the Fiat Panda, the moustache, Milli Vanilli, paella, bukkake, hand gestures, the isosceles triangle, Viennetta, toga parties, pictures on floors and Cesar dog food. It’s unthinkable. So to the Romans we have to say a great big Latin thank you: THANKVS YOV.
