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?

13 recorded individuals across ~400 years ain't too bad.
Not any less creative than current naming conventions.
The thing is, there are only like two dozen common praenomena - first names - and some families only used a fraction of that already limited selection.

Just another way the Arabs took their place in the medieval era.
