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: In the Second Punic War, Hannibal, the leading Carthaginian ('Punic') general, invaded Italy, the heartland of the Roman Republic.

... he ultimately spent almost 15 years fighting in Italy, with some success in battle, but little progress made in reducing the Roman Republic's ability or eagerness to continue the fight. Stubborn Roman bastards!

Eventually, without the necessary success in bringing the Roman Republic to the negotiating table for peace, Hannibal had to withdraw to defend North Africa, where the Roman Republic emerged victorious and imposed a brutal peace of their own on Carthage.
