Explanation: Roman infantry in the era of the Republic were regarded as formidable - but more than that, the Romans had a seemingly endless reserve of men to call upon, something a great many of their enemies commented on. After Pyrrhus of Epirus had killed several thousand of them and routed their army, and the Romans came back with more men to try again, one ancient historian compared their troops to water gushing forth from a fountain!

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.
