Rough Roman Memes

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?

Explanation: The Roman Emperor Trajan extended the Empire to its greatest extent in 117 AD during an ambitious campaign against the Parthian Empire.
The Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, the successor state of the old Roman Empire, Nicephorus I, was killed in 811 AD by a Bulgarian khan who had Nicephorus's skull made into a cup.
