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?

Virgil is a fraud and a sellout.
In this household we only read Lucretius.

Feel free to post your favourite Latin author below! Every answer is accepted, except Cicero. Fuck Cicero.Seneca my beloved :D
And I guess those at 196 might like Petronius
Stoicism is never a light read, but it does offer some good advice! I wouldn't consider myself a stoic by any means, but I carry some of their teachings with me.
