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?

Is this the same Hadrian who built a wall to keep people from going to Scotland?
The very same! Though it was the other way around - he wanted to keep the proto-Scots out.
That's what he told everyone, but in reality he was just desperately trying to stem the tide of defecting legionaries after they got a taste for our phenomenal... uhh... oatcakes, maybe?
"The Caledonii fry a bar of the god of war Himself in animal fat, and then EAT it?! They are truly a powerful people! We must make pilgrimage there and taste of this divinity!"
It was to keep the twinks in
Ah yes, Londinium was full of twinks.
