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.

Explanation: The bust pictured is of Cato the Elder, who hated Carthage even after it was reduced to a struggling city-state which regularly got trashed by its own minor neighbors, and posed no real threat to the superpower of Rome which controlled half the Mediterranean. He would still end all of his speeches in the Senate with "Furthermore, I believe Carthage must be destroyed", no matter what the topic he was speaking on was.
