Rough Roman Memes

390 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?

Explanation: The top is the ROMAN EMPIRE AT ITS HEIGHT.

The bottom is the Byzantine Empire, the successor state of the Roman Empire, just before its total collapse.

This is clearly bullshit! The devs nerfed Rome way too hard. Now we're not even competitive in the meta against the Ottomans, smh.

The bottom IS the Roman Empire.

Are you kidding me? You guys get a million mercenaries from that free olive oil and I need to wait like 3 minutes for a single Sipahi!

Wait, wrong community.
