Rough Roman Memes

434 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?

And the Main-Danube canal?

Explanation: The Rhine was used by the Roman Empire as a natural border to separate itself and the Germanic tribes. Barbarians, naturally, aren't people! Just filthy animals!

Just because they're filthy, people south of the Rhine aren't necessarily animals...
