Rough Roman Memes

423 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 this guy had this, Cato had "Carthago delenda est"... what other Roman Senators had famous end-of-speech catch-phrases?

Funny enough, one of Cato the Elder's opponents would end all of his speeches with "Carthage must be preserved" in response to Cato's "Carthage must be destroyed" spiels.
