Never seen this. For shame...

Ancient Rome, according to his bio, had fallen in love with both Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt at first sight.
Write about his courtship with either of them. Make it sweet and romantic, with a little touch of tragedy too, if you can. Bonus if the romance/s result in current Greece and/or current Egypt.
note: i'm going to do parts of this. like a part for mama greece/rome + mama egypt/rome. plus, i used grecia and will use aegyptus because i believe they roll off the tongue better than ancient greece and ancient egypt or whatever.
The first day Rome saw her, he swore he had never seen anything so utterly surreal, winds breaking around her and olive branches hugging her shape, curving and sliding like rolling waves. The lady, whoever she might be, standing there high above the ocean, did not look, did not take notice to anything besides the horizon broadening, waves parting and colliding into dark wood just beyond the beach, white sand, and boulders like arches.
Squared out like her shoulders, bones slightly jutting out beneath skin blessed by kisses of the sun. Line of her jaw strong and defiant like the rest of her, balancing between land and sky.
(Rome wonders what color her eyes are and aches hard deep in his gut.)
-----------------Everyday, he meets her at the Acropolis-that’s what she said it was called. Says her name is

Squee!! This is is so perfect! Sweet, romantic, yet tragic as well. And Chibi-Greece is an adorable touch. Can't wait to see the story with Ancient Egypt.
