غُلِبَتِ ٱلرُّومُ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is an unrooted plural proper name serving as the passive subject of defeat. The following verses predict that the same people will prevail after their loss within a stated span, which supplies the complete Quran-internal identification without importing later political labels.
