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.

Fun Fact! Romans actually generally did not regard the peoples they conquered as worshiping different gods than the Romans themselves did. After all, doesn't everyone worship a god of war, and a god of family, and a god of healing? What does it matter, theologically speaking, what worshippers call them? A rose by any other name...

Toutatis is usually identified by Roman sources as either Mercury (the god of trade) or Mars (the god of war), just worshipped under one of those funny, furrin names! Silly Gauls and their silly language!
