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?

It would be nice for them to have a community too, but they're absolutely welcome here as long as they're on topic (even if on the wrong side of the topic, filthy barbarians) and in the (light-hearted) spirit of the community!

Yeah, no hate (well, except as a LOYAL ROMAN CITIZEN). I was more thinking that things could be expanding. I bet there's a subr*ddit for every reasonably well-known ancient world culture.

Part of the issue is that historylemmy is a little understaffed at the moment. As more activity spins up, specific communities will become more viable!

Yep. I've found there's still more than enough to interact with, but Lemmy is a little lean on everything except IT for now.
