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.
Follow Piefed.social rules.
MORE COMMS ON THE HISTORYVERSE:
Explanation: The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, generally considered a 'good' Roman Emperor, appointed his only surviving biological son his successor and heir, even going so far as to share power with him for several years while Aurelius was still alive, to 'ease' him into the role.
His son, Commodus, would become an infamously terrible Emperor when he entered into sole rulership upon Aurelius's death.
Yes, but did he remain stoic the whole time?
Stoic on the streets, epicurean between the sheets
