In the 11th Century, Peter Abelard wrote a famous book called “Sic et Non” - which is always translated as “Yes and No.”
Even in Classical Latin “ita” was pretty close to yes.
I think an ancient Roman would understand and possibly use sic and ita much as we use “yes”.
But it’s been a while. My Latin is rusty.
