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?

MODERATORS
No, freshwater fish apart from predatory fish have never been on the menu in the UK, top feeding fish like trout or pike but never tench, bream or subsequent to the Romans, carp. The BBC article relates to one site and even there is a possibility that the aversion to fish was due to fecal contamination causing illness. In East Anglia scales from sea fish were common however apart from trout other local fish was not present in middens.
