Rough Roman Memes

890 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?

EDIT 2: Ah, I had him mixed with Tiberius’s brother Drusus, who ironically is another great candidate for this meme. Like, seriously, there was only one, single timeline where Caligula would become emperor, and we apparently live in that one. You can’t convince me that it wasn’t an inside job by some time travellers who really hated Rome and wanted it to burn.

Time traveler just really wanted to see a horse become consul

You know what? I changed my stance. The time traveller was right.
