Rough Roman Memes

884 readers
91 users here now

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?

If you convert the numbers to their roman numeral counterparts, it looks like the loss meme.

I II
II L

Yes, hence why I capitalized "Lost."

Catullus would've been one hell of a memester if he was born in the age of social media.

How can it be Discovered if it's still Lost?
