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 Piefed.social rules.

And that's why he turned water into wine and preached tax evasion.

I'm ashamed to admit that the joke didn't land because I mixed one thing Jesus did (turning water into wine) with one that he was accused of doing (not paying taxes, which happened when he was brought to Pilatus, IIRC?).

I'm usually funnier when I get my regular hours of sleep, but alas.

That's one part of the bible I have to assume got messed with around the time it became state religion, anyway.
