Rough Roman Memes

848 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?

I mean, it's a Celt pictured, and we're writing a branch of Germanic in Latin letters.

But Latin is the classy part of English. That's why "fornication" is not profane but "fucking" is. The first is descended from Latin (via the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror) and the second is descended from Anglo-Saxon (who were the conquered.) Everyday, the Romans still rule.
