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?

Who doesn't like their wine with a little fermented fish tang to it?
Now, fetch the dormouse, we have dinner guests to impress!
Honestly I don't like wine to start with. Crucify me, I guess - although I suppose I've only had it the barbarian way (undiluted).
On your title, were Punic people known for a lot of food taboos? Given their common origin with Iudea I guess that would make sense.
Not to my knowledge, but the Romans stereotyped Punics as cowardly (amongst other vices, because Romans loved slander), so I took on the shame of Punic-ness for my lack of bravery 😔
