A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
RULES:
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
-
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.

Party game: drink a shot every time this sentence is used to describe an emperor.
Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Domitian, Hadrian, Lucius Verus, Commodus- one moment, the room is starting to spin...
It'd be easier to list Emperors NOT hated by the Senatorial aristocracy, now that I think about it. XD
Augustus - unhated because he killed everyone who opposed him, making him universally beloved
Vespasian - unhated because he won a civil war and didn't kill everyone who opposed him, making him mostly universally beloved
Titus - unhated because he was so gosh-darn charismatic no one could keep a grudge from his old days leading his father's secret police force ๐
Nerva - unhated because he was a meek member of the Senatorial aristocracy elected to demonstrate the Senate still had power
Trajan - unhated because he was just that cool
Antoninus Pius - unhated because he was chill af
Marcus Aurelius - unhated because he was Stoic af
I was not expecting a serious answer, but it was very appreciated.
Damn, that's a very short list.
