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?

Explanation: Pope Leo I met with Attila the Hun in an attempt to convince him not to march on the city of Rome itself after Attila penetrated into Italy. Bizarrely, he succeeded. The details of the negotiations are disputed, but Pope Leo must've had a helluva gilded tongue.
I'd like an explanation for when and where this photo was taken, please.

Thanks
