Rough Roman Memes

921 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?

My opinion 2100 years ago in a bar, after an hour of conversation when all of us are not sober:

“Caesar is not so ambitious as to want to overthrow the republic, he has good reasons for this, and I’m going to prove it by the following ideas…”
