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.

Explanation: The bust pictured is of Gaius Julius Caesar (of dictator and conqueror fame), who conquered Gaul - roughly modern-day France.

‘Bar bar bar’ is a reference to the Greek-derived term of ‘Barbarian’, which the Romans also used, meaning an uncivilized outsider. ‘Bar bar bar’ was the Greek onomatopoeia of mocking foreign tongues as sounding like gibberish.
