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.

Crucifixions

~~Romans weren't allowed to crucify virgins.~~

There's no way that's right. Source?

You were right to doubt this. I thought that I read this about a rebellion of the Frisii in "De Bello Gallico". Turns out there are neither cruxifications nor Frisii in the book.

I am sure that I read it somewhere but Google doesn't turn up anything about it. So it most likely is wrong.

Least it gets you out in the open air
