Rough Roman Memes

957 readers

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 Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Chainmail too! A Roman writer even identified it as lorica gallica - 'Gallic armor'. Caesar writes glowingly of Gallic architecture and craftswork in his Commentarii, and discusses how several Gallic polities have government structures that resemble that of Italic and Greek city-states.

It's the G*rmanics that are the filthy ones!

Because you spell it "touthpaste" like an illiterate bastard, maybe?
