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 Roman Emperor Caligula, sometimes said to have been mad, once ordered his troops to 'make war' on Neptune, stabbing the tides and collecting seashells as war booty. This may have been meant as humiliation for the troops rather than a genuine delusion of warring against the sea.

CALIGULA IS BACK TO CARRY ON THE FIGHT AGAINST THAT SALTY BASTARD, NEPTUNE
