Very good! And yes, AFAIK the Romans didn't copy that. Please understand, BTW, that I don't do things like that simply to see if anybody understands it. I do it because I assume that a fair number of you will recognize what I'm saying and won't have to ask.

Wandering even farther off-topic for a moment, I often have a problem when talking to younger people: I like to make pop culture references, and tend to forget that what I'm referring to was way before anybody else in the conversation was born. As an example, does anybody reading this know what I mean by "an identical cousin?"
