Fuit Ilium!   (Latin) Troy has been! The quotation is from Virgil's epic poem the Aeneid 2:325:

Ilium is a Latinized form of Ilion (Ἴλιον), another name for the legendary city of Troy, whence the title of Homer's Iliad. The Trojans were sometimes known as Teucri (Teucrians) after Teucer, earliest ancestor of the Trojans.
