I represent something
Vast we once were
X never marked a particular spot for us
Merciless we claimed much!
(In reply to
re(3): A Guess... (spoiler) by tomarken)
Federico Kereki made a comment about this just before this just before
it was published. He would have liked to have seen a fourth line
which began with a "C".
While the letters I, V, X, [C] and M would suggest something
Roman, I look at the pronouns I and we. I see a collective
noun of who, or whatever, the 'we' represents.
Certainly I think Caesar has a place in the solution, but I also think
that we could add Atilla, Ghengis Khan, Alexander the Great (etc) as
"nomadic" conquerers (X does not mark a spot), but I need a collective
term which is 'singular'.
