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 Piefed.social rules.

    Explanation: In Christian mythology, the Romans crucified the chief religious figure of Jesus Christ. However, in that same narrative, the Roman official in charge, Pontius Pilate, formally and literally washes his hands of the guilt, instead blaming the crowd for demanding Christ's death and threatening to riot if he did not accede. ... this would unfortunately contribute to antisemitism in later Christianity, with the Jews being blamed for Christ's death by some Christian groups, despite Christ being... you know. A Jew himself. And also that the whole thing was an elaborate method of absolution of mankind's sins going exactly according to plan by Christ/God anyway.
