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?

Why would anyone joke about Cabbages? Lettuce be serious. The Romaine Empire was a great civilization built on a brusseling sprout of philosophy and engineering. While not where the dish originates, one might say it was the Ceaser Salad of jurisprudence and culture whose influence can be felt to this modern day.
