Now that I think of it, I've always seen you share your knowledge of Rome trivia, but I don't think I've ever seen you share why you love Rome so much in the first place.

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.
-
Follow Piefed.social rules.

MODERATORS
Many reasons, but I think most of all, it's that Rome has fascinating precursors of modernity in it that were nonetheless in many cases snuffed out by its decline, and thus our own modern institutions are not directly descended from (in most cases). It's like seeing parallel evolution.
I could probably write more, but I'm about to head out.
