Rough Roman Memes

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?

MODERATORS
One uses copper (or is it bronze or bone?) for their swords, the other steel!
The sword depicted is bronze, but funny enough the best steel in Europe was considered, by the Romans, to come from (and worked by) a Celtic region, Noricum, in what is now Austria.
