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.
-

Bonus point: If you time it right, you'll at the very least fuck up the rider. Having that meat suddenly collapse onto you is going to hurt.
With a horse, you're lucky to only walk away bruised. With an elephant, I'd take "we only need to amputate one leg" as a victory.
The best result is when you don't kill the elephant, you just scare it into trampling its own side!
... bit of a loose cannon, war elephants
Pretty sure cannons came later
