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?

Roman naming conventions are very creative (lemmy.world)

13 recorded individuals across ~400 years ain't too bad.

Not any less creative than current naming conventions.

The thing is, there are only like two dozen common praenomena - first names - and some families only used a fraction of that already limited selection.
