I was being aAdana is a town, so has feminine gender; therefore it's VICTRIX, not VICTOR (masculine).
But my Latin ends there.

As far as I know victrix ,s an adjactive meaning conquering and victor is a noun or a verb. Remmember Maximus shouting Roma Victor while charging into Germans in Gladiator. Actually Hollywood may be misleading but it's still a thought.Originally Posted by Mouzafphaerre

Well according to my grammar, which is hopefully more accurate, they are synonyms with the opposite genders.
In that case it should be Roma Victrix also. (Somebody with the correct info would jump in, I hope.
)

I vaguely remember more learned members being offended by the "Roma Victor" cry in the movie (this is around the RTW release timeframe). So it probably is supposed to be "Roma Victrix". Never trust Hollywood.Originally Posted by Mouzafphaerre
Edit-> after further memory digging, it wasn't the movie that cheesed latin Orgahs off (statute of limitations, I guess), instead it was the video game Roma Victor.![]()
