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 don’t know why we don’t have more movies or mini series about this stuff, that whole war is filled with really clever moves and bonkers strategies.

Scipio: "Bro, just trust me, the gods are on my side, watch, Neptune told me to do this:"

[uses information from locals to predict when the water on part of the moat will go subside to a fordable level]

His troops: "holy fuck the gods are on our side"

If you like Manga at all, Ad Astra is a fantastic series on the Second Punic War.
