Rough Roman Memes

472 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?

My wife gets nervous when I don't turn Google Maps on immediately.

"Babe, we're still in the neighborhood and it's 120 miles until I need directions."

She's not from America and the long distances astound and confuse her. Also, just figured out why she gets antsy about a turn coming up in 2 miles. She's still thinking in kilometers.

The benefit of using gmaps on long trips is it will alert you and reroute around traffic. So yeah you may not need directions until you get to your destination... but you may be stuck in traffic for hours because of a traffic accident you were not aware of.
