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.

For this, I look to sci-fi. And dang, now I wonder if the Romans had their own body of sci-fi, and if any of it was accurate in terms of things the Roman Empire -- unless it hasn't actually died yet?!?! -- would never live to see.

Oh boy, do I have a treat for you.

We have yet to create giant insect chimeras for our cavalry or devised a way to plant our testicles to grow into an all-male population, but we have traveled to the moon on a ship, viewed the Earth below from a magnifying screen, and invented gay marriage!
