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?

I turned up that they did some serious construction in Farafra. Would that have been considered Libya, or Egypt?

Egypt, looks like! Roman Egypt roughly had the same borders as modern Egypt, with Cyrenaica being on the border with Libya, and modern-day Libya being, well, Libya, and Africa Proconsularis.
