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: In late antiquity, once Christianity was in power, it dropped the whole "We just want to coexist 🥺" thing that prior generations of Christians had pled to the authorities, and promptly set to book burnings, mob killings of pagans, destruction of temples, and defacement of objects, especially of those terrible temptress pagan goddesses, making good Christian men think impure thoughts by their very visages!
