Rough Roman Memes

556 readers

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?

Antoninus Pius didn't become successor to the position of Emperor until he was 52. Genghis Khan didn't embark on his first major conquests until he was 48. You got time to become the most powerful man in the world.

Sounds like a lot of work.

I may have a motivation problem; not an age problem 🤔

Have you tried being born into power? I'm told that works wonders

I think I’ll just have another donut instead…
