Well it is 41 years since I last took a Latin exam, but I think "eunt"
is the wrong tense, surely you mean "go!" in the imperative.
Secondly, "domus" is the nominative but should be accusative.  And the
plural of Romanus is Romani.   So did you mean "Romani ite domus!" ?
Or perhaps you were just quoting Monty Python after all and I should
myself ire domum.
