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?

I feel like these names arent all from the same period, tho they make for a humerus map (iirc the maps of the day were just road schematics).
This later copy of a 2nd century AD original might interest you!
Yes, oh my, I've known abut this one!
What I always think of as "a Roman map" was like the Tabula Peutingeriana, a sort of 1.5D representation of how far things are from Rome.
