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.

Explanation: In the First Punic War, the Romans started the war without a navy or any naval experience. So they found a Carthaginian ("Punic") shipwreck, copied it 100 times, and voila! Instant navy!

... they lost that fleet.

So they built another!

... they lost that fleet too.

So they built ANOTHER!

They may also have lost that, or a related fleet.

Somehow, inexplicably, they managed to win the First Punic War anyway.

Stubbornness is a hell of an advantage.
