Rough Roman Memes

652 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 don't understand the need to differentiate between barbarians. You are either a citizen of Rome or you're not.

Most Romans weren’t citizens though.

Yes, yes. Quite the sad state of affairs. However, loyalty to Rome is non-negotiable.
