Rough Roman Memes

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 Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

MODERATORS
Look, you are just flat out wrong about singular they. Singular they is used all the time in conversations. Even Shakespeare used singular they to refer to a person. Hamlet act 3 scene 3 line 34.
Personal pronouns aren’t new either. The bible gives God personal pronouns, He/Him, since His pronouns are always capitalized when He is referred to.
Grammar isn’t being made up, the tools that already exist are being used in ways that make you uncomfortable for some weird reason.
Apparently in another post they implied satire.
Yeah, that was a response to another comment I made.
I think this is an appropriate response to that type of satire where the satire is just saying the same thing the person they are satirizing would say, since it’s not really possible to tell, especially online
So it's ~~turtles~~ satire all the way down?
