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.

In the spring time when the snow is still around and the weather is still cold we conduct a major Canada Goose hunt. This allows us to harvest lots of large birds and since it is still cold outside, we can temporarily store them outside in the snow without spoiling. This gives us time to process these birds for further long term storage.
Since there are not much bugs around yet, everything can be cut open, laid out without worrying about spoiling.
The birds are then cut into long thin strips for smoking over a fire in a teepee ... racks and racks of them would be processed this way. In modern times they look like the image below.
But in my mom's time and grandmother's time, they said that that these birds would be cut and stretched so thin that it would be about four feet long (but folded over which makes it stretched to eight feet long) ... and all those old people used to butcher a bird so that you could separate the flesh from the bones into two whole parts. All being done on your lap and no table.
