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?

I honestly wonder what would have happened if Caesar wasn’t slain. He advocated for reform and had total power… not that tyrants are good or anything, and his heir sucked nuts.
Augustus? The first Emperor of Rome? Sucked nuts? Interesting take.
Augustus was a masterful politician and propagandist. Beyond that? I don't think I actually have much praise for him either, lol
Right now, I wish "my side" had a masterful politician and propagandist...
