Rough Roman Memes

557 readers

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?

Romans - lead poisoned inbred morons who stole literally everything they had from other cultures.

Just and just changed a few names of the pantheon they stole from the actually civilised Greeks.

Can't pick just one so here

So Roman to take offense at a few thoughts.

Rome was great at war. But you can't even manage a bit of verbal sparring against Greek memes? (Quotes are also memes if they become as popular as Diogenes' did.)
