Well, ensuring that you have appropriate consent before you engage in sexual intercourse is important, so the final solution would entail a reliable method for determining the correct amount of time to wait before gently caress.

Dude you need to work on your av/post/username combos.

How do you discipline-kill an entire legion? You'd need at least... two other legions to do that

I think legionaries favoring the general that didn't want to murder them all is probably why there were so many revolts

That was the Praetorian Guard. You weren't allowed to have legions anywhere near Rome except for the legions that belonged to Rome itself. It varies a lot over the course of Roman history as that's pretty long but that's who you're thinking of; they guarded Rome, the Emperor, and the Senate and were hugely influential because of that. Generally speaking they were tasked with keeping the government and/or social elites safe. Needless to say that meant you wanted to be on their good side as they had a tendency to get...involved...in politics. Given that murdering politicians was basically the Roman national sport you can imagine what that sometimes entailed.

This is not an image macro, nor a meme but I am just loving Rome.

So much better than Game of Thrones. Shame it got only two seasons.

This seems to play on that misconception that just because a people existed long ago, they’re somehow less intelligent than us. The people way back then we’re likely just intelligent as we are now. It’s hard for us to accept that, because they didn’t have like computers and such back then. Also, this BC stuff is in the fossil records.

I am confused. It's a joke.

And yes it's BCE (before common era) now but :wtc:

You're on a prisoner transport, waking up after a nasty thump on the head, after being swept up in an action against some anti-Imperial rebels. Whether you were there because of an unfortunate coincidence or not is ambiguous, so you can make your own backstory.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

The joke is that the game has been released and rereleased and remastered like six times in the last eight years, being foisted over and over again upon a gaming public that would prefer the devs work on The Elder Scrolls VI. So the meme is about the game being foisted upon you when you're vulnerable or unexpecting.

After the plague you could tell them to kill all clergy and gentry. That would be useful.
