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.

When yazuke first made it to Japan and was brought before the shogun, their first reaction was to fetch water and soap and scrub him

Yeah, if memory serves they thought the Portuguese were playing them for fools by painting up a guy with a skin color they'd never seen before.
