Rough Roman Memes

653 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?

So very true, and it's sad that so many polities chose to unlawfully defend themselves in the process! What else could Rome do but sack their cities and sell them into slavery for such an offense??

Lucky that those poor barbarians ran into the Romans, instead of a less generous and magnanimous people ๐Ÿ™
