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.

Also, using unreinforced concrete helps with the longevity. Rebar eventually rusts and jacks apart what it was holding up.

I'm curious now how overengineered they were, exactly. They didn't have CAD, but they had plenty of time to learn by trial and error.
