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 would have loved this as a kid. It might have been enough to make me diligent and industrious.

I bet you'd've learned to dig a mean ditch by the end of your training

When I visited my relatives in the countryside they used to make me do chores on the farm. But I didn't get to wear a legionary's kit while doing so. That would have made all the difference.
