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?

Have someone break through my gates, burn my home, steal everything I have and leave me for dead?
If she's a big tiddy goth girl then it'd be worth it
From seeing a few young friends who went through this .... she's a goth alright ... but she isn't a 'big tiddy' ... and she ain't worth it
We all have kinks.
Sounds like a bad divorce.

Divorce fetish would be a new one... Somehow weirder than even the bodily fluid stuff in my mind in a way I can't quite describe.
Domination fetish I think.
At this point, I'm kind of yearning for it tbqh
I mean, first time for everything...
I don’t wear black lipstick to get ignored by goths. Though I’m more of a Roman Republic girl
...
Okay, yes. Either kind of Goth will work, too - kohl and furs is a look.

By the way, for anyone interested in the complexity of the Roman Empire's fall, I recommend this blog post by a Roman historian, the last in a series exploring the identity and makeup of the Roman People, which examines what held Rome together and how it stopped.
I also recommend the follow-up series "Rome: Decline and Fall?" which deals with the contending views treating the end of the Western Roman Empire as either "decline and fall" or "change and continuity", which I personally found a surprising question, and the way its nuances are explored was really enlightening with respect to my own biases.
A bit late, but thanks for the links. I'm really enjoying the reading.
There's no time limit or "late" here. Well, beside the eventual heat death of the universe or the demise of infrastructure. It's a recommendation for your leisure, not a reading assignment for class.
And I'm glad you enjoy it!
acoup is positively fantastic
