One day I was very interested in the lesson.

We talked about Rome. I adore Rome and consider it to be the peak of human civilization – so I was hot about how much we took from a great nation. As an example he cited Roman gestures and said that the Roman gesture is still used in school. Which? The students had trouble. I proposed to recall the gesture “I ask for words” and told how the Senate’s gesture turned into a hand-raise in schools.

Is this a Roman salute? One student asked me.
“Well, you,” I replied, “this is the Roman salute.

And showed it.

At this moment, as I stood in front of a class of ten with my hand spread, I had a lot of thoughts in my head — and all of them were about how I was wrong.
