Rough Roman Memes

556 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.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Wow, Thai restaurants are everywhere, at least where I live. I'm surprised you've never tried it.

If you go to the actual place, they have a version called pla daek, which is the chunky, historical kind made in a bucket.

Let's put it this way - I pass by far more restaurants day-to-day than I've tried in the entirety of my life XD

Getting me to try anything is like pulling teeth. Perhaps especially if it's me trying to get myself to try something.

Ah. Yeah, I know someone like that.

My fish sauce days are over anyway. For whatever reason they can make vegetables taste like beef, but not even like a humble shrimp cracker.
