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?

Explanation: When Julius Caesar was sieging the Gallic fortified town of Alesia, he built two walls - one to keep the Gauls in Alesia, in Alesia; and one to keep Gallic reinforcements out of his camp, leaving the Romans nestled between the two armies. A siege within a siege!
