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.

Explanation: The Flavian dynasty, consisting of the Emperors Vespasian (back), Titus (left), and Domitian (right), map surprisingly well onto the Boomer/Chad/Doomer memes.

Vespasian was a somewhat grumpy old man fond of lame jokes and doing things the 'old' and respectable way. Titus, his eldest son, was a handsome party boy, bicon, and all-around cool guy who was fondly remembered by his contemporaries. Domitian was a miserable and cynical son-of-a-bitch.
