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: When Caesar's Civil War started, one of the Plebeian Tribunes attempted to veto Caesar's taking of the Roman state treasury that had been left behind by fleeing Optimate forces. Caesar ignored him.

Ignoring him was probably the best possible outcome for him.

Everyone in the room must have just felt embarrassed for him.
