Rough Roman Memes

907 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?

Thanks for the disclaimer. The only thing I'd like to add is that in modern theology it depends on the denomination on where in the physical to spiritual spectrum Christ's body is present from the Transubstantiation of Catholics to the entirely spiritual remembence of Reformed Protestants.

I could imagine how scary it would be for the Roman pagans to have to deal with a cult that claimed to be able to eat a god.
