SPQR. So the Roman Empire is still growing. There is a similar plaque in
Venice where that great English sailor Zuan Chabotto was born.

As I recall seeing in a MAD Magazine bit regarding the Roman Empire:

Rome! Rome! You’re just fine!
With that crazy SPQR Sign!
where orgies go on
from evening ‘till dawn
and each Christian is fed to a lion!
