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?

Fun fact....
There's this block in Rome just called "Sacred Area" south-east of Piazza Ravenna. It's an excavated area with three or four temples in it. There a plaque that says that the ancient Roman Senate chambers were just west of this area, and that's where Caesar was going/coming when he was killed.
Anyways, there's a hotel right on that spot. I've stayed there a couple of times without knowing that I was sleeping right on top of where Julius Caesar was killed.
Now, how cool is that???
There's also a cat shelter in the excavated area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largo_di_Torre_Argentina
