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?

Beautiful.
In some ways, this is worse, because they hit metaphorical stairs the whole way up as well, and where the "top" is is a matter of what you want to measure.
It's very not-the-circlejerk, but maybe 13 should be "Rome never existed in the first place".
Your correction should be "The Roman Empire...". The city of Rome existed without a doubt. (So did the empire, but it fits what you're saying.)

The other answers use "it", so probably that if we're actually doing a rewrite.
I'm not worried about being misunderstood here, and natural language is intrinsically imprecise. But yeah, Rome the city is still there, and actually bigger than ever.
