A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
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.

These were the reasons that had made me decide to cross the Rhine. However, I thought that to cross in boats would be too risky, and would not be fitting for my own prestige and that of Rome.

Caesar built a bridge just for the lulz.

"You don't understand, I HAVE to dab on the G*rmanics" - Caesar explaining to his tired men why they need to cut down half the shoreline and pull double engineering shifts to build a bridge he's going to burn anyway

Not only for the lulz, also as a massive show of force both to his enemies and his allies. (The allied Germanic tribe that had asked him for assistance in the first place had offered him boats to cross the Rhine)
