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.

I want to say the 787 also has composites in the wings, but I'm not certain. It does, however, bend quite a lot during takeoff. But I think most wings do too, but controlled so it doesn't cause fatigue cracking at the wing roots. A composite wing wouldn't have the same fatigue failure mechanism.
