Fun fact! Roman discharge papers (actually a metal diploma) had to be signed by five witnesses (and issued in duplicate, and with a backup in Rome), goods passing through had to be marked by an official as taxed at each port they passed through, and Roman ledgers were considered legally admissible evidence for purposes of discerning corruption in misreporting income or expenses. Empires run on paper (or papyrus) work!

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?

British people were forced to abandon their rock piles and most of history since has been about them making it everyone's problem
