WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO - 1



The English proverb "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", shows the influence if Rome on the popular cultural of different countries.

Therefore, it is not a bad idea to know some Roman proverb or popular saying, even because, when in Rome, it will easily happen that a Roman will try to translate it to English assuming that everyone will understand it. Actually speaking, once I did it, translating a popular saying into English, and the result was ilarious. By the way, a foreigner that is able to use the popular Roman sayings will get a lot of respect.

In its long history, Rome has seen everything. Therefore, Romans have a strong sense of irony and a sisenchanted character that might also appear to be cynical and sarcastic.

That's the way to look at popular sayings.

Let's start with the first

Morto 'n papa, se ne fa 'n'antro

One pope dies, another one is elected


Sometimes people believe to be very important, much more than they actually are. A Roman will say to them that even a pope can be replaced, so they have to lower their self-consideration.
Another interpretation is that if something goes wrong, there will always be another opportunity.
By the way, sometimes, although not really frequently, a new pope is elected even if the old one is still alive. Nowadays we are living in a time with two popes.

  2. Hello guys, I just want to share my joyful experience about HACK VANISH CREDIT SPECIALIST. Before the coronavirus pandemic, I had criminal Judgments, few evictions, and late payment which negatively impacted my credit score down to 487 and left me in difficult financial situation, as a single mum of 3, I needed a loan to keep the family running after I lost my husband as a result of COVID-19, all hope were lost, until Mrs. Olivia referred me to HACK VANISH, a credit genius who was very helpful in fixing my credit 6 days after I reached out to him via Email: hackvanish (At) gmail (Dot) com and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, throughout the process, I felt so involved because an open line of communication was maintained till I got my FICO score restored to 796, currently my loan application has been approved.
