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?

[off topic]

"Happy holidays" was created by capitalists.

Department store clerks were supposed to wish every customer a 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

The bosses realized that was slowing the lines down, but they had to keep up the pretense that the staff cared about the customers.

"Happy holidays" was the solution.
