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?

Fascinating! I have heard it was used for cleaning but didn’t really believe it.
Reminds me of being a kid and driving past cow feeding lots in Kansas and my dad always saying ’smells like money’
The urine has to be given time to, uh, ferment, to get the ammonia concentrated. I imagine it was none-too-pleasant work, lmao
@PugJesus@lemmy.world you are the best on lemmy imo
Aw, thanks, you'll make me blush! I'm just trying to spread love for how fascinating the past is, and the history trivia I've picked up over the years and have never found a practical use for, lmao
