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.

I don't mind some deep-fried brain (as long as I'm not the one preparing it; it spills like there's no tomorrow!), but the way Roman patricians ate as a soufflé is... frankly, less than appetising. And it's the patricians - it was some luxury food.

There's some story about how Elagabalus ordered hundreds of ostriches, because he wanted to eat their brains. It's probably propaganda from the times, though.
