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.

Explanation: The debauched and tyrannical Roman Emperor Nero was a mama's boy who felt smothered early in his Emperorship. Naturally, he murdered her for this. Later, he would express regret and guilt for this act, despite the fact that his mother was probably legitimately plotting against him.
