If all roads lead to Rome, then all memes lead to... this list? At least if we’re talking about Roman memes! Roman culture has always had many fans and admirers, from an actual historical classic to a meme classic.
With iconic figures like Julius Caesar, infamous warfare tactics like the testudo formation, and the rapid expansion of the Roman Empire (Roma Invicta, right?), it’s no surprise that this ancient civilization still inspires many people today.
Although in slightly different forms than essays, poems, plays, paintings, and histories.

Pretty sure the Egyptian and Ottoman (Turkish) Emperors weren't White but k
After alexander the great died, the empire was split between his generals, and a lot of pharaos that come after him where descendent from Ptolomeus, actually, a lot of hellenic (greek) migrated to egypt, and yes, they were white.

Fun Fact: Romans used to count the years from the foundation of Rome, in their words "Ad Urbe Condita"
Hence why it is now 'B.C.E' and 'C.E' - so anyone in B.C.E. wouldn't get confused lol
The origin of the word "decimate" was when a Roman Centurion was ordered to kill one-tenth of his men for poor performance in battle ... X-Men - I = IX
wah wah wah wah wah poor crybaby wah wah wah wah wah wah - incredible that a grown man is such a f'n baby.. poor me wah wah wah wah.... and no I'm not a leftist or a democrat
A lot of grown men feel sorry for themselves, misunderstood and mistreated. (Just ask anyone called a 'wife') What is incredible is not only that such a self-centered, ego tripped ignoramus not only was voted into office as the president of the United States of America but that he still holds that office. What the f*/$ wrong with the US?

Coupled with capitalists who love troubled waters, and control our media to that end, none of this was ever intended to bring us peace. Governments do not excrete democracy. The Quality Control is we the people.
Caesar wanted to make the other cultures, the Gauls and other conquered people to be romans... at that point he viewd rome not as an sole culture, but and idea to bring the civilization to all the corners fo the globe. But the Patricius and rich people of rome didn't wat the masses to gain power, because they will become independent from the rich. and Caesar promoted cultural diferences accepting other people in the senate. but in the end he was killed by the greedy and the intolerant.
I dunno, but you might wanna try Rory over there.
Load More Replies...Because its originally as Celtic/Galo defense position against the Romans :D
Load More Replies...Ironic for Greece. They invaded Egypt and oppressed Egyptians only to be invaded by the Romans and be oppressed by Romans lol.
Not actually true! The Romans, despite conquering all these civilisations, held extreme reverence for the Egyptian and Greek societies, and never took credit for their works. Just look at Seneca’s praise of Homer, and Cicero’s description of Herodotus! Even Julius Caesar wrote an account of the culture of the Gallic peoples , and that is our main source of knowledge about the Gallic civilisation.
That involves the murder of Remus... the perfect conpromise
Load More Replies...Just like Alexander the Great and the city of Alexandria. What was it with Roman leaders and their egos?
King Arthur is a woman in my head, thank you anime :/
Load More Replies...There's an anime about everything and then some more apparently...it actually does get annoying when you're trying to find pics of something that ISN'T anime.
AHAHAH! I LOVE anime, but I totally agree with you. It feels like "eheheh, okay, let's get serious now. Guys? Guys!"
Load More Replies...Was Nero the guy that turned Christians into candles? Like literally poured tar on them and lit them up?
Yep, that was Nero. One of the worst Roman emperors.
Load More Replies...Or when you're trying to find pics of Arturia but you keep getting Saber-faced Nero instead.
Roman soldier: Jesus's gone. MacReady: Any way we can fix it? Roman soldier: It's GONE, MacReady.

Load More Replies...Scipio Africanus, aka Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the general who defeated Hannibal of Carthage at Zama
Came from clapbacks to racism and Scipio Africanus was mentioned in one of them lol
Bread and circus. Give food and distractions, so people stop thinking about really important things.
i mean food is necessary for life. they're going to need it to think about important things cause they'd be dead without it.
Load More Replies...These days it's fast food and reality TV. How far we've come! Bring on the apocalypse.
The Trump circus is doing well, as is the Brexit ditto, but I am afraid that the plebeians will be facing an increasingly serious shortage of bread unless they decide to use more smarts and reason when they go to the voting booth.
Wait does circus and hippodrome mean the same thing? Like is one Greek and one Roman or something?
Lives for over 100 years lives...how long did the Roman empire last?
No empire can hold onto that much land for that long, especially back then without modern medical and other scientific wonders.
It should be “in capite mundi” - caput is a third declension neuter noun, and when it’s ablative (after all, this use of the preposition “in” does not indicate movement), the ending is -e.
