It’s not the fall of the Roman Empire that gets me down. It’s the fall of the Roman Republic.

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?

Who hasn't lived the first twenty five years of their life in a reenactment cult only to find out browsing the internet while pretending to work that the roman empire no longer exists?
We tried to protect that poor soul... Lucius, I'm sorry, we failed you...
You forgot the phase when you learn that there are games about the fall of the Empire and you decide that your life isn't over before you save the Empire from overwhelming darkness
Aka until you beat Attila as the WRE and make history right
Still one of my proudest achievements of my life.
