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 Piefed.social rules.

It's a good thing nations stopped using the practice of spreading lies about other nations to start a war.

tbf, none of the three Punic Wars started over the matter. It was just one more reason for the Romans to disdain FURRINERS

It reminds me of a fun thought experiment I often have when reading about that history (not that I've done that much reading about it).

How history would have turned out if the Carthaginians had won that conflict

I've heard that one before. It's such a radical idea that we sadly have such a limited ability to examine. I wish we had more extant sources on Carthage, especially since the Romans themselves reference (now lost) Carthaginian sources, especially on agriculture.
