On one hand, probably tabloid slander. On the other hand, Claudius DID have notoriously bad taste in women...

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?

Conflating her total (supposed) body count with the contest, I think. But like I said, likely tabloid slander.
You're likely right in both cases. I guess my brain bypassed your post title the first time I saw it because I legitimately had to go back and look where you said it was probably tabloid slander.
Either way, I was criticizing the fictional guy in the meme, not you. Now I realize how strange it is that I don't care that the dude just gives people random Roman names because he can't be bothered with their real name but care very much that he's wrong about something he supposedly knows a lot about.
