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.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Explanation: A line from Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars.
Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt
"Of all these, the Belgians are the bravest, because they are the furthest removed from the culture and civilization of the province."
Haha, somehow that second line never got mentioned in school, that's brilliant.
Eh. I'll still take it as a compliment.
