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 Aeneid is an epic poem of the Roman Empire, tracing the mythological origins of Rome back to the Greek legends of the Iliad, and the Siege of Troy.

The opening line was so well-known that contemporary graffiti satirically quotes it. Obviously your child MUST be able to recite it if they are to be ANY sort of Roman citizen worth respecting!
