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.

Maple sugar makes as much sense as mountain climbers carrying oodles of chocolate.
I can't think of hardtack without seeing the Tasting History guy clacking them together. He also covered stockfish, which is just hung out to dry in the sub-zero winds of Scandinavia, and has to be lightly coaxed toward edibility by beating it with a hammer. So I was surprised to find it recently at a local Afro-Caribbean grocery store. It makes sense, I guess? That is where those sailors were headed, for various unsavory purposes. But as a fan of fresh seafood it is fuckin' weird to have this stack of extremely dead fish sitting on the shelf beside the spices.
