Rough Roman Memes

921 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?

How often did Persian Kings show up for battle in person?

Clearly, because Roman emperors, being absolute ~~inept~~ ~~morons~~ gigachads, didn't fear the enemy and always charged head on alongside their troops.

So brave 😭

(One might point to that the position of Emperor was, until the late 4th century AD, much more predicated on military leadership than hereditary right, meaning that an Emperor who didn't take to the field with The Boys was asking to be couped)
