Rough Roman Memes

556 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?

Wait, wasn't it a military dictatorship all along?

"Yes, but actually no" or "No, but actually yes" before Severus, depending on your tastes.

Severus made it much more nakedly and unambiguously so.

I don't know anything about this guy, but from your chart the whole libertarian half looks pretty weak. The portrait doesn't need to be in the middle in this meme.
