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: The first explicitly Christian Emperor, Constantine I, waited, as was common for Christian converts of the time, until his deathbed to be formally baptized into the faith. The thinking of this was so that there would be as little time to sin and fuck up the whole, 'new life, new you' schtick you had going before you got to the pearly gates.

That's smart. God will never figure that shit out.

Looks like Christians trying to trick their own God goes all the way back to the beginning.
