Fascinum (fascina?) are magical so it could be using greek as a syncretic magical language. The Romans did like their winged dicks with bells on though. I think you can find some good ones under the name tintinnabulum

They were used as protective charms invoking the power of the divine phallus. So yes quite serious. Sort of like a crucifix against vampires.

That's right. They did not have a magical potion, and were in fact easily defeated and Latinized within a matter of centuries. Sorry to any Gauls reading this, but it's the truth.

That was the weak rear end Romans who collapsed when they saw some big tiddies and excessive eyeshadow. It's not that Obelix was incredibly strong, more that the Romans were incredibly weak.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If she didn't have birthdays, she wouldn't technically be an adult. This would be very useful for a libertarian.

everyone's all like "Colosseum" this, and "Circus Maximus" that, but no one ever talks about how cool the Baths of Caracella are. Imagine being some out of town hick and coming to Rome to find a gigantic, free-to-use public bath complex just outside the city with fully heated water, statue fountains, mosaics, etc etc
