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?

Explanation: The Flavian dynasty, consisting of the Emperors Vespasian (back), Titus (left), and Domitian (right), map surprisingly well onto the Boomer/Chad/Doomer memes.

Vespasian was a somewhat grumpy old man fond of lame jokes and doing things the 'old' and respectable way. Titus, his eldest son, was a handsome party boy, bicon, and all-around cool guy who was fondly remembered by his contemporaries. Domitian was a miserable and cynical son-of-a-bitch.
