Rough Roman Memes

539 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?

Illegally parked next to the Circus Maximus, parked near a public exit putting people's lives in danger, wooden spokes are loose, wood tread on your wheels is beyond limits, no signal indicators, one of your two horse team is dead and you have outstanding parking tickets in Rome, Neapolis, Pompeii and Ravenna. That will be 325 denarii for today's traffic charges and you will have to visit the regional office for the other traffic tickets. Failure to pay these fines will mean immediate arrest, torture by crucifixion or entry into the gladiatorial games.

one of your two horse team is dead

The thought of one horse trotting along unconcerned, harnessed to a chariot, while a dead horse dangles merrily in the next harness over made me laugh

Hmm. Do we know anything about parking regulations on Roman roads and streets? Although, I'm guessing the risk of theft would already be a big deterrent to just leaving your stuff there.
