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?

Brits are "badass women" presumably for Celts like Boudica, but at the same time, Denmark/Scandiwegia is labeled as "blonde wigs"?

I don't know of any practices of using wigs in the first millenium Scandinavia?

...

Oh no right now I get it.

You're basically saying the blonde hair for Roman wigs comes from Scandinavia.

Yeah that's probably true.

I actually realised that midway writing this so I'm gonna leave the revelation there
