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?

Two of their more notable offenses were proclaiming themselves to be the Syrian sun god, and having young women hitched to their chariot like horses to pull them around Rome, whipping them all the while.

Neat. Now I just gotta find a chariot and young women into this sort of thing

Edit: because I'm obviously the Syrian Sun God

Oh I was thinking more of being one of the women.. heh...

...I thought that's what everyone else would want too

we have to stop gay marriage from being legal because if it was legal everyone would get gay married and there would be no more babies right guys, guys? etc

Ok, now find another, and I'll get working on the chariot.

And if you got any friends I got some ideas of even more fun we could have.

I have lived under a rock my whole life so I kind of just expected this sort of thing only exists in like porn or stories

I can tell you from personal experience that a lot of people's fantasies are being done in real life. Usually you find them in specific subcultures or bdsm spaces like bdsm clubs and such. But they do exist, and I've definitively been part of what a lot of people consider to be fantasies

..it probably helps that I'm gay and trans though, queer culture tends to be a lot more open and welcoming about this kinda stuff

Someone's already done it. Look up House of Gord

The chariot is the hard part of that in my experience
