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?

Explanation: The Roman Emperor Valentinian I died during negotiations with some Germanic tribes because the famously hot-tempered Emperor finally blew one fuse too many! When the Quadi tribe insisted that the conflict was the fault of the Romans, and that the Quadi were not bound by any treaties they made, Valentinian had a stroke while shouting at their envoys.
