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?

Explanation: During the Dacian campaigns, the Roman army found themselves facing the falx, a curious weapon capable of hooking around Roman shields to get at the juicy, fleshy Roman bits within. The Romans, not being fond of this, adopted a new kind of ridged helmet and (temporarily) 'manica' or arm guards, for the duration of the campaign.
