Rough Roman Memes

434 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?

Quick google-search and the wiki of my country (Germany) gives a detailed explanation how the assumption this thing was to clean your anus is wrong.

You can do better. ;)

The idea of the xylospongium as a toilet brush is not at all the mainstream position despite Wiplinger's claims to the contrary.
