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:

  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?

Also, "High Gothic" being essentially bastardised Latin, which honestly fits with the theme of chasing a glorious past with only fragments of knowledge left about it. Ave Deus Machina!

Anglo-Saxons looking at the remains of a Roman aqueduct a few hundred years after the Empire's fall: "Bruh, giants built some amazing walls to keep out invaders in the past."
