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?

“ROMANS WERE TOUGH”, yes, Romans considered themselves hardier than most (though not hardier than barbarians - there’s that middle-ground again)

So, tougher than Greeks basically? Maybe Persians and Egyptians too?

And some other Italic peoples, Carthaginians/Punics, and Syrians.

And to be fair, there were a LOT of Greeks around XD
