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?

Common barbarian backstory
The she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus was very CIVILIZED
(or, alternatively, as some Romans themselves speculated, as 'she-wolf' is Latin slang for a prostitute, they may have been raised by a very civilized working girl)
The Barbarians part is just a reference to the original post I cross posted.
