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?

Isn't there a massive catacomb tunnel like system under Rome? Or is that a myth

One might think this is also a major factor for Rome not having a subway

Simple: Turn the catacombs into a subway system.

Rome has a subway. 2 lines in fact. Running almost like a cross through the city.
