Ancient Roman Memes Steeped In Historical Humor

Paging all history nerds! It should come as no surprise to any of our readers that we consider ourselves history (meme) buffs. We take great pleasure in serving up jokes that use the past as a punchline. The past, however, is a pretty broad designation of time. So we generally mix up memes that cover the horrors of World War II with the bizarre mindsets of the Medieval ages. These historical memes, however, are just a wee bit more specific than our usual galleries - and they are sure to please anyone with a bizarre fascination with the Roman Empire. If you'd prefer our more varied coverage of historical humor, we've got your back with these  history memes. But if talking Persia, barbarians, Visigoths, and Caesars is more your speed, scroll on. You won't be disappointed.
