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?

MODERATORS
Explanation: Napoleon (and many other Enlightenment-era figures) was a huge fucking Romaboo, to the point of, well… just look at the style of the depictions of himself he preferred! In fact, up until the 1920s, a good percentage of Western figures were out-and-out Romaboos, with the educated elite especially having an interest in Latin and the Classics!
