I mean... we also don't speak Anglish, so I think the Romans got something.

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?

MODERATORS
English is still not a Romance language
Also, we still use Latin letters, even though they're poorly suited for a language with >15 totally distinct vowels (17 in my specific dialect).
And then we use them badly on top of that, but orthographic reform-jerking is another Lemmy community.
I'm interested. What community is that?
Why is it written English though?
English is a Germanic language, so this still tracks.
Barbarians found an island and decided ehhh what if just pub, misery and Crowns? That shall be life for Pjtjr
This one made me LOL. Thanks a lot Pug
