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 Parthian Shot was a term used to refer to the tendency of horse archers, particularly those in the nomadic tradition, such as the Parthians in Persia, to fire arrows as they retreat.

Here, there's a little mix-up over what Parthian Shot is. Surely new ammunition trials are nothing to get worked up over...?
