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?
A quick memetic primer on Republican Rome
A quick memetic primer on Imperial Rome
Explanation: In the legend of Rome's founding, its founder, Romulus, kills his brother, Remus, with a shovel after Remus jumps over the ditch he was digging for walls and mocks him. Romulus buries Remus and names the city after himself. Brotherly love!
And my brother thought I was bad for stealing his ice cream
I see why you like 40k lmao
Considering that they are called the Mario Bros, seems to me that Remus and Romulus characters are played by the wrong character. Since it was called Rome and the game was called Mario, maybe Romulus should have been played by Mario. Did I misunderstand something?
In the meme format, Mario is typically used for some normal, innocuous comment (like "abortion is a woman's choice"), while Luigi is used for something off the wall ("Yeetus that fetus")
ohhhHHHhhhhh! That makes sense. Thank you for explaining the history/context behind it, and I appreciate your dedicated contributions to the Lemmyverse. 🙂
Always happy to help! 🙏
