There is no standard abbreviation. I am sure you have already done a Google search and found no consistently used abbreviation. There are some commonly used rules that could be applied to 'classification':

Class.
Words ending in 'tion' are often abbreviated using apostrophe-n:
Class'n
Sometimes an extra consonant is included:
Classf'n
A Google search shows all of these in use. The best may depend on the context. For example the first suggestion above could be an abbreviation for a number of different words and may not be the best pick unless within a constrained context.

What is the full saying 'when in Rome'?
The full saying is "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".
The phrase developed from the following incident:
When St. Augustine arrived in Milan, he observed that the Church did not fast on Saturday as did the Church at Rome. He consulted St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, who replied: "When I am at Rome, I fast on a Saturday; when I am at Milan, I do not. Follow the custom of the Church where you are." The comment was changed to "When they are at Rome, they do there as they see done," by Robert Burton in his Anatomy of Melancholy. Eventually it became, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
