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?

Reminds me of that one time Cicero had a dispute with a political rival, who kept asking him "who's your father?" because Cicero was not of noble birth. Cicero simply answered "In your case, your mother has made it difficult to answer such a question".
I remember that incident! Also a great example!
While a great comeback, it's insane how far Cicero went to try to ingratiate himself with conservatives who fucking hated him for being a novus homo.
