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?

Aaand it's the only thing people remember about him. He went on to fight the Persians or something afterwards, once he had a new crop of sad peasent conscripts. It's okay, he couldn't see them die through his stupid poker visor anyway.

Some people also remember that he got merked by an old lady in Argos tossing a roof tile on his head!
