Did you know?
- The Chinese word 罗马 is a phonetic approximation of 'Rome' and does not carry a native meaning. However, the character 马 means 'horse', which is a common animal in Chinese culture.
- The term 罗马 is frequently paired with 帝国 to mean 'Roman Empire', and in historical discussions, it is often contrasted with the 汉 dynasty to compare the two great powers of antiquity.
- The character 罗 (luó) itself can mean 'net' or 'to collect', which is a complete coincidence in relation to the name of the city.
