Beside the historical data, I wonder about only one thing. Is in Homer's
work about Troj any woman called Roma? If yes, what a role did she
played there? It is a proof of ignorance by my side, but I don't
remember of any trojan woman called Roma there.is there any?
BTW, it should be interesting to know if Stesichoros uses "Roma" as the
Latins did or "Ruma" as the Etruscans did.
