Rough Roman Memes

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?

It's easy to think how ridiculous that price sounds until you realize there are plenty of similar examples in this day and age. Take wine for instance. Though, the expensive stuff is usually ages wine, but still.

Yeah, it's like paying $20k for a bottle of wine. On one hand, ridiculous. On the other hand, very much a thing that still happens!
