I mean... we also don't speak Anglish, so I think the Romans got something.

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
Also, we still use Latin letters, even though they're poorly suited for a language with >15 totally distinct vowels (17 in my specific dialect).
And then we use them badly on top of that, but orthographic reform-jerking is another Lemmy community.
English is still not a Romance language
Why is it written English though?
Barbarians found an island and decided ehhh what if just pub, misery and Crowns? That shall be life for Pjtjr
English is a Germanic language, so this still tracks.
This one made me LOL. Thanks a lot Pug
