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?

Better, I believe, though it also had problems with sprawl from growth. Back when it was Byzantium it got razed to the ground and rebuilt by Emperor Septimius Severus, so they had a clean slate to start from. I'm not real well informed on the topic of Byzantium/Constantinople/Istanbul, though.
