Explanation: From a live-action adaptation of the manga Thermae Romae, about Ancient Rome. As the movie is Japanese and based on a Japanese work, most of the main cast actors chosen are, likewise, Japanese. I dig it, unironically.

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.

Such a ridiculous show. I love it. Haven't gotten around to the manga though
I knew it! I have the book and I watched the live action. It's a bit of a silly premise but it's good fun. It makes me crave a good onsen!
We've had the Eastern Roman Empire, yes. But what about the Far Eastern Roman Empire?
Now do George Washington and the Founding Fathers!
