Trying to decide if "the third option" is the Confederacy or the Nazis. But if I ask, I'm sure the answer will be "yes."

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:
-
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?

I would ordinarily say 'yes', but the Confederacy was never a nation, just a handful of states having a bit of a disobedience problem. :)
But yeah, Nazis was what was intended. Fucking Wehraboos, luring in edgy teens.
I assumed they meant "Sengoku era (Edo period) Japan", but yeah.
MFS who obsess about Sumeria
You dropped this, god-king 👑
No Byzantium?
As an anti-Byzieboo, I am having a very generous and magnanimous moment and allowing them to include themselves in 'Rome'. :p
Mine was civil war Spain.

Mayans, weirdly enough
New world nations always a great choice.
That's the trifecta.
Unfortunately, most of the sources on the old New World were mislaid by barbarians in upturned helmets.
And pre-industrial Japan.
Don't forget about the ottomans
Not sure how dead the Ottomans are. If I wake up one day and Erdogan has abolished the Turkish Republic and crowned himself Sultan of the Sublime Porte, I would be only mildly surprised.
At least the hats will return
Those hats make it all worth it. If you want to go along with some genocide at least have a cool hat
Once Istanbul was Constantinople
Bah, they all pale next to the vague but inspiring "Norse" heading.
I still wonder what could've happened if Novgorod and others didn't fall under Moscow.
Prussia
FUCK YOU FREDERICK, YOU OLD POTATO
Serenissima Republic of Venice my beloved
🤢🤢🤢
Why not both? They share that same familiar-but-completely-different vibe compared to modern times.
They both weren't as nice as now in the West, though. I'm not that kind of Soviet fan.
