Rough Roman Memes

738 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?

PROTIP: infodumping about your special interest is okay, but don't assume everyone else shares the interest, much less the recollection of minutiae.

Second empty bottle usually results in a naked arm chair historian lying on the floor with nothing but Roman sandals and a Centurion red crested helmet.

If that happens, you have a moral obligation to look up Pompeian graffiti to write on them in sharpie
