Rough Roman Memes

946 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?

Imagine you’re a kid in some small Roman town and Hannibal goes through and you see an elephant.

You’re grandkids grandkids would hear that story.

Depending on what time of Hannibal's campaign he went through, you might see Hannibal as a one-eyed man on a one-tusked elephant.
