Rough Roman Memes

953 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?

to vulgar childlike poetry so he can actually interpret it

This reminds me of a BlueSky thread I saw linked on Mastodon, of people riffing on the ludicrous and flawed idea that great literary works need to be distilled using LLMs into plain language, to "avoid difficult language": https://bsky.app/profile/adamcsharp.bsky.social/post/3lb5og7vrv22j

It's like watching education happening in reverse. Even Orwell would be baffled at these happenings vis-a-vis AI/LLMs.

Why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick?
