Rough Roman Memes

447 readers

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?

Don't forget about the ottomans

Not sure how dead the Ottomans are. If I wake up one day and Erdogan has abolished the Turkish Republic and crowned himself Sultan of the Sublime Porte, I would be only mildly surprised.

At least the hats will return

Those hats make it all worth it. If you want to go along with some genocide at least have a cool hat
