Oh for goodness' sake, AN, the Latin for "People who are called Romans they go to the house" is:
Romanes eunt domus.
This is quite wrong.
Romani ite domum is the correct translation of Romans go home, but Brian still was *not* using the locative of domus as he claimed when he wrote out "domum" a hundred times," even though it was accepted by that stupid and thoroughly unpleasant centurion.
The locative is a strange one-off case, used only when you are "at" or "in" a place. The locative of domus is domi, but that would mean "at home". So domum *is* the best translation (allegedly), but is not the locative. I hope that is clear?
SST.

The centurion was mixing up the locative of domus with a different rule. With domus and casa (casa -ae, f. house), the prepositions ad, ab and in are not used. The same goes for the names of cities (Rome, Sparta, Athens etc.) and also small islands (Sicily, Crete etc. ) So:
Places "to which" - name in the accusative without ad:
eg. Romam - to Rome
Cretam - to Crete
Carthaginem - to Carthage
domum - home, as in "Romans, go home".
Can I have a drink?

A jug of Falernian - despite your name - awaits you in the Baucis and Philemon Room.

Rumour has it that when Temperance gets on the Falernian, the Vulgar Latin becomes extremely vulgar... I'd respond with a suitable classical quotation but I'd get modded from here to eternity!
New I should have kept my head down. Oh well - goodnight, all! Off to my (decidedly Anglo-Saxon) bed.
