LATIN: Deus mortus est. +
ROMANIAN: Ma pis pe beserica matii. ++
+ ) God is dead. (This wld have been egregious indeed for the polytheist Romans, who might direct very specific insults at specific gods—as found in Pompeii's & Herculenium's graffiti; or might say "Your gods are dead"; & possibly even, "The Gods are dead"—if there were other Gods waiting in the wings.)
++ ) I piss on yr mother's church.
