Move to "Rome"?

Has he ever been referred to in canon as "Ancient Rome"? From what I can remember he was called "Roman Empire" "Grandpa Rome" and "Rome", but never "Ancient Rome". Since there isn't a present day character for Rome (like there is for Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece), and we don't call Germania "Ancient Germania", would it make sense to change the title of this page to "Rome"? -FH14 08:23, 23 April 2012 (EST)

I'm having a bit of a brain meltdown because I can't remember off the top of my head if he's been called that. I don't mind if the page gets moved to either "Rome" or "Roman Empire"! (Sorry for the short reply. I'm kind of in a rush!) Icelilly 04:39, 24 April 2012 (EST)
Sorry if I'm sort of reviving a dead topic! Anyway, while he has been referred to as "Ancient Rome", it's only been a couple of times. He's nearly always referred to as one of the other three. In addition, the Japanese name that is used on the page (ローマ帝国, Rōma teikoku), actually means "Roman Empire", not "Ancient Rome". That also is what he's been referred to as the most, from what I can tell. As a result, I'd suggest moving the page to "Roman Empire", with "Ancient Rome" as one of the alternative names that are listed. Just a suggestion though.

I have to agree with that. He should probably be Roman Empire. Ancient Rome was derived from "Roma Antiqua", which was what was used on the first set of Hetalia trading cards illustrated by Himaruya. Aside from that sort of thing, it's never really used. "Roma Teikoku" was used for his bio in World Stars vol 2, if that helps. JammerLea (talk) 15:45, 18 August 2015 (CDT)
