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.
Follow Lemmy.world rules.

Explanation: Before the Emperor Constantine, Roman Emperors had a largely ambivalent attitude towards Christians and Christianity. Some Emperors, like Antoninus Pius and Phillip the Arab, were well-disposed towards Christianity - but even then, only marginally. Christianity, for most Emperors and most of the Empire, was a fringe phenomenon that was worthy of only occasional attention - and very little attempt to understand the strange new sect of monotheists.
