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?

I love how they try to insult Elagabalus but accidentally ended up making them sound badass.
Also:
"This one gelded a man who looked like a woman he once fancied and raped him over and over for years"
"Yeah, well, this one wore the wrong kind of toga. So, I guess its 6 for 1 and half a dozen for the other."
Think it was more trying to establish them as belonging in the 'libleft' quadrant. Their misdeeds are, uh, a little more offensive.
ALSO WEARING YOUR TOGA RIGHT IS A MARK OF CIVILIZATION
Oh, I got that but you always have to have a dig at compass memes and the kind of people they (mostly* tend to come from. Although not all.
Ever found it strange how the nazis seem to have found themselves top & centre and pride of place, despite never actually being socialist and 100% belonging in the top right?
Yeah, PCM culture got toxic and fascist over the years. Very sad. I still like my funny colored squares, but I get giving that side-look to any PCMs you see.
