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.

I'd say there is quite a difference between adding wheels to a weapon in order to make it somewhat more mobile, and adding a weapon to a normally unarmed vehicle in order to give it some firepower.
