Rough Roman Memes

466 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?

hear the lamentations of their women and all that jazz

I'm now imagining some Roman officers relaxing in a dark room, drinking some recently acquired wine, and listening to the lamentations of the spouses of the conquered like it was a new Duke Ellington release in the 50s.
