Вдруг кому интересно, решил уточнить, почему "камень Афродиты" называют еще "Римский камень"


>> Petra tou romeou. Translate from Cypriot.

<< "Petra tou Romeou" in Cypriot Greek refers to "The Rock of the Greek" also known as "Petra tou Romiou", which is a popular tourist spot in Cyprus. It is associated with the myth of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, who was said to have emerged from the sea at this location. The name is often translated to "Rock of the Roman" in English.

>> Romiou means Greek in Greek?

<< Yes, in a historical context, the term "Romiou" or "Romios" was used to refer to a member of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, which was largely Greek. Nowadays, it's often used in a poetic or patriotic context to mean "Greek". Petra Tou Romiou can thus be interpreted as "The Greek's Rock" or "Rock of the Greek".
