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.

In the films the orcs are even more seriously outnumbered. The Battle of Pelennor Fields is only 10,000, and their sole infantry strategy seems to be "run straight ahead". They don't even bother to raise their shields when threatened with bowmen, nor do they really do anything with those absurdly long pikes. Two Men, an Elf, and a Dwarf were sufficient fighters to hold off hundreds.
