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.

Naturally, as the Russian empire is the third Rome.

Hey now, the Russian empire ended with revolution and eventually ended up turning into the current Russian empire (lol) but iirc they married off a Romanoff to Finland before the Bolshevik revolution, and Finland became a republic through weird government chaos rather than a direct overthrow of the government, so technically I think Finland is the true heir to the Roman Empire
