"An enormous mass of flesh armed with teeth..."

God help them if they ever saw orcas taking out a great white shark...

He called sharks "noxious monsters" LOL.

Possibly due to the strong smell of ammonia that their corpses give off.

Rough Roman Memes

411 readers
136 users here now

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?
