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?

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!"
