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: The Roman Emperor Carus led a successful campaign to capture the Sassanid Persian capital of Ctesiphon - the recurring dream goal of many a Roman Emperor! Shortly thereafter he died, by some accounts, by being struck by a freak bolt of lightning while in his tent. There are other theories, but they're not as fun.
