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.

You may find this funny or it may drive you to further frustration, but despite the immense sexism of Roman society, daily informal wear was largely the same between men and women, who both simply wore tunics.

Long-sleeved tunics were considered more 'womanly', but still commonly worn by fashionable men (including, famously, Julius Caesar), while lengthier tunics were considered more 'modest', but the basic form was the same.
