Not a native Roman to be a Roman you needed to be born of a Roman in Italy or an immediate area considered part of Italy, or Greece. If he was born in Thrace since its in the Mediterranian and in the sphere of Rome Greek would be the common trade language not Latin. Remember the Christian Gospels were written in Greek for a good reason when done it was the language everyone that could read knew. It was like English is today most people that do business internationally or with foreigners tend to pick it up.<br/><br/>So if Thracian you likely would know your native language but to even deal with Latin or Greek its 1 Merit Dot. My character although trash was born in Rome so knows Latin and is picking up some Greek and has 1 Dot in it.<br/><br/>You might want to pick up Latin as soon as you can or Greek, in any case my character naked and splaying her thighs for you should not need much interpretation.  ;D
