Rough Roman Memes

555 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?

I'l take eating good and healthy food everyday over being forced to fight for a dictatorial empire tbh

That's quitter talk, I'll have you know that our fair Emperor is no dictator, but a rightful magistrate appointed by the Senate and People of Rome! Now, are you going to sign away the next 20 years of your life digging ditches to bring civilization to distant lands, or are you some kind of barbarian, or worse, a Gr*ekoid philosopher?

How many emperors do I get to overthrow in those 20 years?
