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?

Ah, right, we are ALL Britons!
And I am your king.
Well I didn't vote for 'im.
Y'know just the other day I was at the shop and some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me.
Does that make me emperor?
More questions: what if it was a dagger, falchion, or machete? Does the type of sword dictate the office to which one is elevated? Is it affected by who does the giving? Bint vs tart? And how much of a factor does the type of body of water play?
