Explanation: During the Second Triumvirate, or Rule of Three Men, the future Emperor Augustus made a compromise wherein he would get the western part of the Empire, Mark Antony would get the eastern part of the Empire, and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus would get... Africa. Africa was a wealthy province - the wealthiest in the west other than Italy, even - but far from the equivalent of nearly half the Empire - and certainly not enough to challenge Augustus or Mark Antony!

When I reflect upon my life, I fear I am more of a Lepidus than an Augustus or a Mark Antony...

Lepidus got to retire, at least. There's always that.

Rough Roman Memes

477 readers

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 Lemmy.world rules.

Not sure where to start on Roman history?
