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: This is a line from the generally-good first season of Barbarians (second season was shit, would not recommend), in which a Germanic comments that a Roman would not kill other Romans.
As anyone who has studied Roman history would know, unlike this barbarian savage, killing other Romans is one of the most Roman pastimes possible, right next to watching chariots crash while making a sharp turn, and feeding criminals to the lions.
Decimation for the nation
