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?

During my 15 years in the navy, I've seen many American ships and had to work with them many times. I'd rather sail somewhere with 3 hostile Russian ships in the vicinity then 1 friendly American ship. Holy shit, are they stupid AF. Once I singlehandedly prevented an American ship shooting down it's own helo because he thought he was under attack. In front of the German coast. It's helo did a medical drop-off on the German mainland and was returning. They were about to open fire (final warning was read, but on the wrong frequency) when I shouted over the radio "HOLD YOUR FIRE, HOSTILE CONTACT IS FRIENTLY HELO, HOLD YOUR FIRE!"
I have maaaaany stories about how stupid the US military is. The corvus would win for sure.
