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.

Explanation: During the First Punic War, Rome started a naval war against Carthage, one of the foremost naval powers in the Mediterranean, all whilst not having a fucking navy. Forethought is for Gr*ekoids!
In order to remedy this extreme imbalance, Rome created a navy, taking a Carthaginian shipwreck and copying the design 100 times over. Instant navy!
They would go on to win the First Punic War, inexplicably.
