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.

For bonus points, Augustus isn't even his birth name. It's not even his adoptive name (as he was adopted by his great-uncle, Gaius Julius Caesar). It was a name he pushed the Senate to give him - meaning 'exalted'. A truly humble man, our Emperor Augustus!
