On a small note, itsn't the proper term Roma Victrix??? Where's Flavius when you need him.

It could be any really, but Victor means conquerer, victor, and triumphant and so it denotes more in a sense: victorious supremecy.

The word victrix just denotes conquering, but not it does not point out whether or not if its victorious. Its like an adjective trying to say you're a forceful conquerer instead of a victorious one.

Salve Magister,

 

Excuse my Latin if it is incorrect. I digress thought, I was wondering whether the Romans knocked(on peoples doors) with their foot or their hand. I've read different things in different places and would appreciate it.
