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.

The Caesar salad was created in Tijuana and it’s named after the guy who created it.
Julius is out here taking credit for everything.
Yeah, a lot of thinks supposedly named after Ceaser are not. As you said about the salad, similarly people belive that Cesarian sections are named for him too, but the name actually comes from the Roman law, Lex Caesarea, which mandated cutting babies from dead mothers to save the child, the word caesarea believed to come from the Latin words caedere (to cut) or caesones (infants born via postmortem surgery). And Little Caesar was a nickname for the co-founder of the company, Mitch Ilitch, bestowed on him by his wife.
