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?

I'm tired, so this will be short.
Romans wear togas. In fact, Romans regarded the toga as the garment which set them apart from other peoples.
Jupiter's characterization is much thinner, and Jupiter is much more strongly associated with being the literal sky. Jupiter, furthermore, is associated, in the Roman tradition, with law, justice, and procedure.
In the Roman conception, the gods were very distant and generally disinterested in the affairs of mortals - or in backstabbing one another.
I dunno man, seems like there's a lot of toga-like activity going on up on Olympus. There's balls swinging and vajayjays catching a breeze up under those things.

Why did you post the same outfit three times?
So, what you're saying is that the Greek gods fucked and the Roman ones were lame? Lol, look at these nerds. They just stole our gods, spayed/neutered them all, and then renamed them after the planets /s
(Yes, I know the naming was the other way round. Please don't harm me, I'm hanging out with the Greek gods right now. Dionysus just tried to bench Aphrodite and he fucked it up due to being drunk. And now Hephaestus is heading over with death in his eyes)
