Rough Roman Memes

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?

Who can identify the limbs, who the bones? The poor man’s crushed corpse disappears, just like his soul.

is such a raw fucking line too.

And it still kinda hits home, after a couple thousands of years, and a couple centuries with ongoing progress. I really hope the day comes when this reads like the descriptions of naked slaves on auction.
