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 Empire and Persian (Parthian/Sassanid era) Empire often quarreled over who was RIGHTLY entitled to LORDSHIP over the RIGHTFUL VASSAL ARMENIA, and would engage in long, fruitless wars on the matter of who was going to appoint the next king, with Armenians conscripted for both sides to be tossed in the meat grinder.

... Armenians themselves were rarely consulted as to their wishes.
