Rough Roman Memes

792 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?

I have a bad habit of whistling Dixie when in my head I'm really thinking of Union Dixie and then catch myself hoping nobody thinks I'm a racist fuckhead

I'm thinking of Sabo-Tabby Kitty. But I'm also non-USian, so nobody understands the tune anyway.

I know a lot WW1 and 2 reenactors who went from "I do WW1 and/or WW2 reenactment" to "Im in a group that recreates a British regiment during the early 20th century".
