OMG THIS IS AWESOME. My favorite trope! My favorite teeny-tiny ship!

I had been thinking about writing a story like this (non-literate people vs Romans who ALL HAVE THE SAME NAMES HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK they ask themselves), but now I don't have to, because you totally did. :)

Thank you! I may or may not have vastly overthought the worldbuilding for this, ngl, but if you want to write your story, don't let me stop you.

The Romans all having the same name is a feature, not a bug, yo.
