Well I think if I were in Rome I would learn to speaka da lingo - as I was in an Italian restaurant and after all these years still have to point to my menu and say 'that one' - then just look blank when the waiter brings it to the table and says what it is and who wants it :0(

Customs, rituals, accepted standards should be followed in any environment. If you are in school, act as if you are a student. If you are at a sporting event, act like a fan.
This is the intention of the saying, when in Rome.

The saying means that you should follow local customs in whatever place you are.
That is why I get annoyed at illegal aliens who have been in this country for years, even decades, and don't bother to learn English.

I think this is mainly to do with the vast orgy's that they had there in ancient times (no not just sex they had food orgy's too)
