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)
