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.

It's a good thing nations stopped using the practice of spreading lies about other nations to start a war.

tbf, none of the three Punic Wars started over the matter. It was just one more reason for the Romans to disdain FURRINERS

It reminds me of a fun thought experiment I often have when reading about that history (not that I've done that much reading about it).

How history would have turned out if the Carthaginians had won that conflict

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 3 points 4 months ago

I've heard that one before. It's such a radical idea that we sadly have such a limited ability to examine. I wish we had more extant sources on Carthage, especially since the Romans themselves reference (now lost) Carthaginian sources, especially on agriculture.
