Rough Roman Memes

660 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?

One might also count Titus, as his Emperorship was universally beloved as well, but he made a lot of enemies before becoming Emperor (including a stint as a conquering general, and then his father's head of secret police ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), while Antoninus Pius rose to the position without stepping on any major toes.
