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:

  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?

Explanation:

The emperor Decius decided that Rome had lost it's way and the only way to save it was for everyone to make a sacrifice to the gods.

Once you had made your sacrifice you got a paper slip from the government.

Christians refused in huge numbers. They were slaughtered, including the pope at the time.

edit: I just want to add, it's OC so excuse the crappy image editing. :D
