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?

We wish we had the longevity of the romans.
We'll see what happens.
I think covid was eye opener and nail in the coffin of many institutions that were already on borrowed time. Our 3rd century moment.
But un/like the romans, they transformed from the experience. Well have to see if we are as adaptable. We've only been here like 300 years. That's a blip in their history.
We shall see.
