Rough Roman Memes

476 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?

So 6 out of 26 were not assassinated? How does that explain the tiny chance?

3 out of 26 (or 32) were not assassinated. The actual chance is exaggerated.

Alright. But seeing that one of them actually got hit by lightning and that chance is much smaller makes it a bit odd :D

Plague and lightning are natural causes.

Yes, not assassinated.
