Rough Roman Memes

390 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?

Do you have any idea how much that kind of cement costs at this point? You wouldn't finish you coliseum either. More budget for the lion catapults, amiright?

When i was in the Roman Forum in 2018 an artist had completed a few columns with plastic bottles and trash as a statement of what legacy we are currently leaving behind

If it's any consolation, massive dump piles are important archeological resources for studying the Roman Empire (and other ancient civilizations) as well, lmao
