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?

Explanation from the artist:
Are persimmons and crabs poisonous or was Yeongjo accused of poisoning the food?
Someone in the other comm had the same question and helpfully checked for more details!
Seems like food poisoning that was used as an accusation of intentional poisoning.
Huh, very interesting!
