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.

Recently, I walked up to a co-worker and said,

"The time has come,' the Walrus said, To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax — Of cabbages — and kings — And why the sea is boiling hot — And whether pigs have wings"

She just gave me a blank stare, like, I was absolutely fucking possessed for reciting a tiny little fraction of Alice in Wonderland to her.

And I admit that it was rather impromptu, but when I asked her about it afterwards, she had no idea what the fuck I was talking about.

She had even seen the Disney animated Alice in Wonderland and had no memory of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
