Roma Sub Rosa/Trivia

  • The title Roma Sub Rosa literally means "Rome under the rose". The rose was a symbol of the Greco-Roman god Harpocrates, god of silence and secrecy. A rose on the ceiling of a building served as a reminder to those present that whatever was said in that room should never be repeated outside it. The Other Wiki goes into more detail here.
