Rough Roman Memes

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.
-
Follow Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

In the "I do have 100% certainty", the important part is not the 100% certainty, it is the I. It is a certainty you hold for objective, but since it can only be hold as such by subjective beings like you and me, this subjectivity is transmitted to the 'fact'.
In everyday life it is far easier to consider those facts as absolute, but we have no absolute proof of that (even when you see it, when people tell you they see it, when you read records of the thing, the thing, the people, the records could be an illusion. Though very unlikely, we cannot prove its not without relying on other things that could be illusion)
