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:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. 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.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Salve, is that the name of a real guy or invented? Just curious.

Title/regnal name of Aurelian, a 3rd century AD Emperor credited with reuniting the Empire and saving it from dissolution.

Lucius Domitius Aurelianus would be the name, while Imperator, Caesar, and Augustus would all be symbols of the position of Emperor.

Quite frankly, if she doesn't know my boy "Restitutor Orbis" Aurelian, you should dump her.

"It's okay baby, I think about him too when we have sex."

They then joined their pieces of the Empire together in loving, if brutally reuniting, harmony
