Rough Roman Memes

794 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?

Honest question: what's the difference? Is it a joke? English is not my first language and I'd gladly take the chance to learn something new.

Just a lame joke about Cicero's fondness of nested statements and putting the verb as far into the sentence as possible XD

Ha! I briefly considered it to be a joke, but then started overthinking it too much. Now I feel dumb :D
