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 Piefed.social rules.

Explanation: Gaius Gracchus was a radical reformer in the Late Roman Republic who argued for land redistribution from the rich to the poor. For this reason, the reputation of the Brothers Gracchi was positive amongst proto-socialists and early socialists in the 18th and 19th centuries.

No, he wasn't a revolutionary like Lenin, but honestly it would have been cool if he was.
