Repulica Mancunia

The Roman fort of Mamucium was founded in AD 79 as a communications post between Deva (Chester) and Eboracum (York) The site was chosen at modern-day Castlefield because it overlooked the point where the Irwell and Medlock rivers converge. Mamucium means Br£ast Shaped Hill, referring to the sandstone ridge where the fort was placed The Romans spent 300 years at Mamucium, building four forts, the largest of which accommodated 1000 troops Mam became Man, and Castrum (fort in Latin) turned into Chester.

So that settles it.

You're all Italians.
