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.

You think 500 years from now, some dude is going to be like "sorry, I was just thinking about the United States empire"?

100%, and they'll only see the most romanticized aspects of it, and associate those aspects with the philosophies that in fact caused its downfall.
