Rough Roman Memes

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?

Not true
Unless something has come out in the last year or two, yes it is. There are all sorts of studies showing micro plastics have gotten pretty much everywhere in our bodies, in the soil, in the rain, but no major study has yet to correlate that with any kind of health issues

Population studies would be easiest, but you can't do those because there are no populations that aren't saturated by microplastics.
There is science that shows plastics in our bodies inhibit proper function.
