Rough Roman Memes

386 readers

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?

Explanation: Lorica Squamata is the Latin term for scale armor. It's also very close to 'squat' in English. That's it.

Garum (seen in the bottle at their feet) is fermented fish sauce, which the Romans put on everything, from salads to bread to meat to wine(!).
