Rough Roman Memes

772 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?

When I was younger, I used to try to tell a joke, when people asked me how old I am. I'd answer, "I'm twenty-five", while obviously being much older. They'd chuckle and I'd say, "No, really, I am twenty-five years old." They'd scoff, and I'd say, "I'm also fifty-two years old."

It didn't work, so I stopped saying it.

Ah, you need to make the joke horrible. What’s the best thing about fucking twenty seven year olds?
