Rough Roman Memes

358 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.

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!
