A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

Just another way the Arabs took their place in the medieval era.
13 recorded individuals across ~400 years ain't too bad.
Not any less creative than current naming conventions.
The thing is, there are only like two dozen common praenomena - first names - and some families only used a fraction of that already limited selection.
