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.

Yeah, we should make it that if you can kick your owners ass, then you own them.

And if you kill them, you're free.

Unfortunately, that's the position of most slave revolts prior to the modern period.

Master and slave switch places, and nothing fundamentally changes...
