Rough Roman Memes

540 readers

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. 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.

  3. Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?

You know, an account that everyday gives a snapshot of rome, maybe not a day but a year in rome every single day, could be fun, educational journey.

We just have to get rid of the "third", then we can have a new one with ~~blackjack and hookers~~ Iupiter and rampant homosexuality.

Some cheap insulae would also be good about now.
