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: The Third Punic War happened after Carthage, reduced to a city-state, had already lost an entire army against a neighboring kingdom of raiders. At which point Rome decided that Carthage had illegally defended themselves without permission, and sent a few legions to capture and sack Carthage, destroying the polity once and for all.
It was a bit of a dick move against a minor power.
