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.

Some Christian sects fast (generally only from specific foods, like meat) during Lent, the lead-up to Easter.

"So hungry I could eat a hippo/horse/other large animal" is a common English idiom simply meaning one is very hungry.

Augustine of Hippo was a Christian theologian of the period.
