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.
-

Ah, Turisas. Didn't hear them for a long time. But there is a song about the subject i like even more.
There also was an even older Germanic bodyguard that already had served Ivlivs Ceaser and was disbanded by Galba (which apparently contributed to an uprising).
Really, what were those Barbarians thinking of getting in the way of some VIRTVOVS backstabbing of TRVE ROMAN MEN!
The Batavian auxilia were also widely used as shock troops, due to their skill both on foot and mounted (including being able to swim in full kit)!
