Rough Roman Memes

946 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?

In my high school, the answer would be "because the toilets by the lunch room don't have any toilet paper, or stall doors".

Yes I'm American, why do you ask?

Who put toilets in the Gladiator room?

Danny, have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Because I'm not wasting my precious free time in a bathroom.

My answer was always, "I didn't have to go then."

My high school toilet stalls had no doors on them (can't have them boy's touchin' themselves in Indiana! Jesus will find out!) so I either went during class or I held it in until I got home. That wasn't fun.
