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.

Scroll below to check out the crispiest Roman memes and don't forget to comment and vote for your favorite ones!

    The comparison makes some good points. On the other hand, tortoises have been around for 65 million years and are still going strong. The Romans, not so long. Tortoise beats the hare. Tortoise beats the Romans. Next, tortoise is going after Thanos.
