Rough Roman Memes

947 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?

Their fault for being born as barbarians.

Worse is that they CHOOSE to CONTINUE to be barbarians ๐Ÿคข

Why do they not just learn a CIVILIZED tongue and sacrifice 25 years of their life (and possibly their life as well) to join a REAL culture?? Are they stupid??

Are they stupid??

Have you seen them? They war pants. Of course they are stupid!

The funny thing is the Romans too were barbarians.

isn't "barbarian" a term mocking their language?

Racist example

that's like calling Asian peoples "Chingchongs".

Barbari*, barbarus is singular.
