Uses perfume.
It's been a while since my classical studies, but I distinctly remember every stoic in existence reprimanding their fellow Romans for using perfume, because it was "immoral" and "effeminate".

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?

There are two wolves inside of you
One is a Roman fuckboy telling you to trim your goddamn nails if you want to get laid
The other is a Roman conservative telling you that self-care is a Gr*ekoid plot to steal your manly bodily fluids
You will be destroyed by Goths
Welp, another one for my reading list.
the semi-serious, semi-ironic form is ideally suited to Ovid's subject matter.
Sounds right up our ally.
You will be destroyed by Goths
Is that a promise?
Well, I figured we could all use some good news in these dark times
Oh no, the other thread is leaking.
Youre not a real men if people arent gagging whilst you pass them by.
tbf, even extremely conservative Romans were obsessive bathers.
