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.

Fun Facts: Octavian, who would later become known as Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, missed one of the final battles of Julius Caesar's civil war because he was sick (I am sure he had a doctor's note). During his own civil war, he was constantly ill and reliant on his right-hand man, Agrippa, to command his forces. By later accounts, he rarely went outdoors without a broad-brimmed hat to protect his delicate skin from the sun.
