A better question would be, would the inhabitants at the time in question call themselves "Hellenes", "Graeci" (Greeks), or "Romans"?

- ithkuil 2y ago>>> TIL that in 1912 when the island of Lemnos was occupied by Greece, some of the children ran to see what Greek soldiers looked like. "What are you looking at?" one of them asked. "At Hellenes," the children replied. "Are you not Hellenes yourselves?" a soldier retorted. "No, we are Romans." https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/thJwKoNhnn https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/thJwKoNhnn
