notmenotnowanyone ever heard of this saying?
"Ex Africa semper aliquid novus"?
I recently heard this saying, but don't know the translation? Latin I guess...
"Out Africa Always something something?"
Hi,
I think the translation is: Out of Africa always something new.
I guess the Romans had quite a time finding everything from giraffes to "Nubian bananas"!

This is what I found on a latin site:
Out of Africa, always something new.
