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.

Explanation: The Roman Empire was effectively split into two parts in the 4th century AD - an Eastern Roman Empire, and Western Roman Empire, each with their own Emperor, courts, etc. Theoretically they were both the same entity. In practice, they were separate entities, to the point of warring and attempting to place puppet Emperors on one another. Even while the Empire was being invaded constantly by migrating barbarian tribes.
