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?

Explanation: During the Siege of Masada in the First Roman-Jewish War, the Iudean rebels holed up in the mountain fortress of Masada, which looked pretty fucking impenetrable. Unfortunately for the Iudean rebels, the Romans were infamously stubborn, and so decided to just BUILD a ramp so massive and sturdy that you can still see the remains to this day
