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.

The Lost Legion myth is probably not significantly true, but it is fun, and that's what counts (infosec.pub)

The Lost Legion suffered a schism. The faction that left found a small island in the south Pacific and, along with other rag-tag refugees, developed into the Waponi people.

They live a simple existence, fishing in the lagoon, picking fruit.

They have a surprisingly deep sense of spirituality, summed up by their understanding that we are the children of children and we live as we are shown.
