“ancient Roman forum”
The article doesn’t say whether a funny thing happened on their way there.
Well, I’ve never been to Spain........
Goes without saying at this point.
But exactly what funny thing...that would be entertaining to discover.
Well, they said it in Latin, so...
Trump will be holding a rally there, next week! ;)

It must have been a small town if that’s how big their forum was.
I was raised in a small town, that’s good enough for me.
