Rough Roman Memes

628 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?

torture me all you want. The Gracchi were comrades and patricians deserve to eat shit.

But this is the correct take???

I should have been more precise. The patricians eating shit can be analogous to, let's say, hypothetical current day mass execution of certain wealth class. Why would you enable extremist rhetoric like this? wow...

Still sounds like the correct take to me. :)
