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.

Explanation: The bust depicted is of the great Carthaginian general Hannibal, who terrorized the Romans for the entirety of his military career. In the course of the Second Punic War, he contributed significantly to the death toll of the Romans by his repeated and overwhelming victories, which resulted in the deaths of ~1/5th of the Roman male citizen population at the time.
