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?

People don't understand the extent of United States' economic and hard power. We reminisce about old empires but US is probably the most powerful entity to have ever existed. And this could probably be said about a lot of modern powers in the last century and a half. Guess we won't see it until it's gone.
