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 Piefed.social rules.

Turn out that tech and strats advantages can defeat uncoordinated naked people.

The actual twist is when the Zulus beat the British, since the Brits were cocky.

The Zulu were immensely coordinated and disciplined, though. Coordination and discipline can make up for stunning technological disadvantages.

Can't beat tech disadvantage and coordination and discipline though, as the Brits showed when they stopped making stupid mistakes by underestimating the Zulu.
