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: Sir Alec Guinness played Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode IV. He also played the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in The Fall of the Roman Empire, a 1964 film.

It's a bit mid, honestly, but has a rare depiction of the Germanic/Roman barritus warcry in a funeral scene.
