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.

For most part they're all about memorisation — not hard, just annoying and laborious. I had professors drilling it in uni times, but flashcards also work wonders.

The pain is in the details. Like, if the nominative in -us the vocative is usually -e, but if it's -ius you don't get -ie, you get -ī instead (as in ~~Aurēlie~~ Aurēlī). Or the -e disappearing from stuff like pater/patrem.
