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:

  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.

Explanation: Cato the Younger was an ultraconservative dickweed of the Late Republic. One of his favorite tactics was to just keep talking until night fell and the Senate, by law, had to adjourn until the next meeting.

Couldn't even finish his speeches with famous memes about what to do with Carthage, like his cool ancestor.
