Explanation: Caesar, at the age of 32, was still a relative no-one, a minor Roman politician from a well-established family, and mourned this fact, weeping at a statue of Alexander the Great because he felt that, at 32, he had achieved nothing, while Alexander, by 32, had performed massive and glorious deeds.

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.
