Rough Roman Memes

443 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?

Carthage: "Dumbass Romans, don't even have your sea legs, they'd drown in the drink if they tried boarding us LOL"

Romans: "Get me a BIG plank, give it railings, and put a spike on it to smash into the enemy deck so it doesn't move when we cross"

Carthage: "What the fuck is wrong with you people"

Meanwhile, on a ship slightly further away

"HEY, get a load of this! They managed to get something floating, but they forgot to put a sail on one of the masts!, it's just got a spike on the end! Haha hahaha!"

ship get closer.... And closer.... And closer...

"Wait... Why aren't they holding anything to throw or shoot at us?....... They're getting into a formation near the ma... Wait that's not a mast. It has rails.. Oh.... Oh no.........."

Hopefully they wore their brown tunic today...
