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: In reality, of course, Romans had their own dating system, typically using either the ruling consuls (elected officials) for the year, or, less commonly, the number of years since Rome was founded (Ab Urbe Condita, AUC). BC/AD wasn't invented until the 6th century AD.
