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.

Can’t help but finding “Mark Antony” highly disturbing and I definitely prefer “Marcus Antonius”.

It's funny - "Mark Antony" is so engrained in the English language from Shakespeare that it doesn't even phase me, despite English using no such acute anglicization for other Romans.

That’s probably the reason it disturbs me so much, English is just a second language.
