    NOTE: While there were widely-recognized iconographies for representations of imperial power (the eagle, Jupiter’s thunderbolt, SPQR), there was no standardized flag. as we would recognize the concept, for the Roman Empire.

      No standardised flag makes this equally correct.

        You monster, I can’t believe you would just chop an eagle’s toes off like that

            The true Roman way: cooking with weird bodyparts from exotic animals.

    There’s an old saying in Gallia. I know it’s in Dalmatia, probably in Gallia: Si vis bellum, para bellum

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?
