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.

Explanation: Britain was not the most impressive of Roman conquests. While Gaul was renowned for its artisans, and Spain its mineral riches, Britain had... tin. And rocks. And a lot of cold, dreary swamps. Amongst the recorded complaints about the Brittunculi ('Nasty little Britons') is the curious idea that they could hide out in the frigid swamps for days at a time, with only their heads above water, to avoid Roman harassment.
Here we see a local chieftain (an edited photo of noted weirdo and fascist fuckwad JD Vance) doing his best to avoid civilization.
