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.

Explanation: The mad Emperor Caligula once ordered a Roman army to stab the waves in order to assault the sea, making war on the Roman god of water, Neptune, and collecting seashells as booty. Some suggest this was done as a way to punish and humiliate the army for some perceived offense or cowardice - but really, however you slice it, it's not a good look for Caligula.
