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?

Explanation: A scene from the fantastic first season of HBO's Rome, in which James Purefoy plays a stunning Mark Antony, brimming with cheerful, brutish, soldierly vigor, and a certain mocking wit. Given that the snows are melting now with the coming of spring, highly recommended if you haven't seen HBO's Rome. At least the first season.
This show was sooo good. Shame they ended it too soon
