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:
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
-
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.
-
Follow Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Explanation: The Roman Emperor, Julian the Apostate, had his life brought to end because, in a rush to stand with his troops in the thick of the fighting during a skirmish with the Persians, he neglected to put on his armor, and got merked by a javelin.
RIP Julian. You were a real one!
