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:
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
-
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.
-
Follow Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

The bedrooms were often in the centre, in windowless rooms.

I suppose I jumped the gun, or misread. I responded with 'apartments' not noticing that you had said 'rooms'. Most Roman apartments had windows, cubicula often did, but only irregularly; more of a coin flip, with better-quality apartments more likely to have windows in the cubicula. I can send a book your way if you're interested in the details; otherwise, just accept this mea culpa.
No wonder they were so dangerous. Egress, c'mon guys, you figured out the distance to the moon and you can't track that?
