"Don't you mean a martini?" asks the bartender.

Alright, listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about wordplay. See, a "Martinus" sounds like a "martini," which is a type of drink. But the Roman guy? He's playing on the "-us" ending, which in Latin (a language them Romans used to yap in) often means a singular thing. So, when he says he'd ask for a double if he wanted one, he's saying he'd use the plural form, which would be "Martini." Get it? Probably not, you dunce.
