Rough Roman Memes

519 readers

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?

So many fun details...

  • not only does the tree have hands just so it can be crucified, but its tinsel is laid out like a Jesus Sash
  • it' s snowing. in Palestine. and the snow is piling up on the crosses but not the ground.
  • the soap labeled Soap and the nails labeled Nails
  • Pilate is using a modern faucet, and has a mirror with modern vanity lights
  • Pilate is holding his cape like a toga
  • the modern claw hammer. (apparently dating to the early 1500s?)
  • those loincloths...
