Rough Roman Memes

391 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?

That statue always makes me chuckle.

Make sure you get my face exactly right.

Of course Caesar Augustus, the statue will look just like you!

That's not what I said! The face should look exactly like me, and the body should be that of a god. Actually, now that I think about it, make the face look like me if I were ten years younger.

And don't forget the naked baby reaching for my loins!
