Rough Roman Memes

391 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?

Ad Astra: Scipio and Hannibal. It's really legitimately quite excellent. The author plays with some facts for storytelling purposes (such as having Scipio everywhere, and showing Marcellus as a bit of a straightforward, if intelligent, brute), but on the whole there is an adoring and positively granular amount of detail put into the portrayal of the Second Punic War and its protagonists.
