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
Probably. Modern racism wasn't invented until the (late?) 1600s (maybe 1500s if you include the Spanish colonial style), but being grossed out by unfamiliar foods seems biological in origin. Nationality by geography is even more modern, only really getting into swing post-WWI with the arrival of closed borders.
Rome was pretty unique for actually practicing integration as well, though. I know less about Han China, because there just doesn't seem to be a lot of English-language resources. (Recommendations very welcome)
+1 for the recommendation, I have always been interested in that subject.
