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.

True Roman persecution, for True Romans!
Explanation: The bust pictured is of the Roman ultraconservative dictator Sulla, who sided with the Senate against the democratic elements of the Roman Republic. Sulla was famous for his 'proscriptions', wherein his enemies and inconvenient folks who held wealth he wanted to seize were put on a list mandating everyone who could to do them harm without legal censure, and promising rewards for those who betrayed or killed them so Sulla could seize their property.
"Proscription" sounds like "prescription", like a doctor prescribing medicine.
That's it. That's the extent of the joke.
No need to be so sullen.
