One thing about "or" trades that isn't covered in the rules is who makes the choice first, or whether it's simultaneous (and secret). This matters when the trade is something like "1 roman or 2 greeks" for "1 greek or 2 romans"; if one player puts down 1 card, then the other knows to put down 1 card also, but if the choice is simultaneous, there's a chance that someone is just getting 1 free card. I think the simultaneous choice better fits the spirit of the game (i.e. restricted information flow), but each group will have to come up with its own house rule.
