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 Piefed.social rules.

Explanation: The Praetorian Guard were a formation of soldiers/secret police used to guard the Emperor (amongst other bodyguards - Emperors needed bodyguards to guard against their bodyguards, lmao). They've acquired a reputation in the modern day, not incorrectly, for being quick to turn on Emperors and swap sides during civil wars.
'Praetorians' are also a formation of troops in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game. They're much more British-colonial inspired, and have futuristic weapons. Whichever Emperor got these fellows will probably last a bit longer than with the other kind of praetorian!
