Rough Roman Memes

477 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?

-I thought we were having Heraklès.

-Oh, no, I said, "Hercle." That's what I call Heraklès.

-You call Heraklès Hercle.

-Yes, it's a regional dialect.

-Uh-huh. What region?

-Uh, Dodecapolis.

-Really. Well, I'm from Vatluna and I never heard anyone use the phrase, "Hercle"

-Oh, not in Vatluna, no; it's an Arretium expression.

-I see.
