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: An older bit of OC from me!

Julian the Apostate was the last Pagan Emperor of Rome. He pursued a policy of religious tolerance across the Empire - which deeply upset the unified Christian Church, who had spent the past 40 years cheerfully persecuting heathens and heretics. Treating people equally is DEEPLY unfair to the TRUE faith, after all!
