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.

AVE CAESAR!

In spanish, Ave means bird... in certain contexts

[โ€“] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

That Spanish ave is from avis, avem "bird".

As far as I know no Romance language inherited ave "hello", and most presence is through reborrowing. Although I do have some suspicions Portuguese oi "hi, hey, hello" might be a descendant.
