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?

After Hurricane Ivan we roommates were playing cards on the porch by candlelight with a new guy from around the corner. Me and another white guy, who looked totally different except for being about the same build, a Taiwanese kid and the new guy, black.

Black guy kept getting us white guy's names mixed up. The other guy politely corrected him, again. The man started apologizing profusely and I cut him off:

"It's all good. I know we all look alike to y'all black people."

The three seconds of silence while we all looked at each other for permission to laugh, my god I was popping a sweat. And then we all started roaring. Whew
