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.

Explanation: In the modern era, ever since the Industrial Revolution, society has been obsessed with timekeeping and the 'correct' time to get up, go to work, for how long, etc. Romans, like almost all pre-modern peoples, relied mostly on daylight and natural cycles to time their activities. 'Sol Invictus', the Unconquerable Sun, is the sun as envisioned as a deity by the Romans.
