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 Piefed.social rules.

Delenda est Cartago, though
Interestingly enough, that shows, in a strange way, the level of differentiation Romans were willing to employ.
Carthage, in the Third Punic War, was utterly obliterated over absurd reasons, because Carthage was a polity they had long-feuded with.
Yet other Punic city-states in the area were allied with Rome during the war, and received no harm done to them, despite the fact that they burned the whole fucking Punic city of Carthage down over ancient offenses. Not only that, but the native North African Numidians were aligned with the Romans during the war, and honored accordingly.
No racism - just good, old fashioned, murderous blood feuds over names and borders on a map! Holsum!
